The Baltimore Ravens offensive line might as well consist of orange traffic cones because the unit is currently under construction.
Right tackle Morgan Moses, right guard Kevin Zeitler and left guard John Simpson are gone. That trio combined to start 52 games last season, including the postseason. Center Tyler Linderbaum and left tackle Ronnie Stanley are the holdovers from last year's starting five.
Baltimore can't go wrong with taking an offensive lineman in general, though it finds excellent value in Duke's Graham Barton, who presents enough versatility to start at any of the five positions.
"Barton gives the Ravens an option to fill in at any of those recent openings," Thorn said. "The 6'5", 313-pound blocker is coming off an outstanding pro day after finishing rehab that kept him out of the Senior Bowl and combine, thus solidifying the athletic ability seen on tape. He likely takes over a guard spot in Baltimore, helping to fill the void left by Zeitler and Simpson, who signed free-agent deals with the Detroit Lions and New York Jets, respectively."
