The latest mock drafts foresee the Ravens taking an immediate starter on the right side or a future starter on the left.
In the latest mock drafts, analysts foresee the Baltimore Ravens prioritizing finding an immediate replacement for right tackle Morgan Moses, or an eventual successor to left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who enters the final year of his deal after a renegotiated contract this offseason. The most commonly projected prospects to the Ravens were a pair of right tackle prospects with high ceilings and a versatile lineman who can play guard as a rookie and eventually take over the blindside.

No. 30 — Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
The Ravens’ trade of Morgan Moses piqued my interest,” Kiper wrote. “Do they believe 2022 fourth-rounder Daniel Faalele is ready to step into the starting job at right tackle, or are they planning to draft a tackle? And could the answer be yes to both? I’m leaning toward the latter outcome. Faalele hasn’t shown enough to be the entrenched starter, and maybe General Manager Eric DeCosta is thinking about the future along the offensive line. This is the draft to do that.
Mims is the perfect case of a high-ceiling, high-risk prospect. The risk comes in that he has started only eight college games because of injuries and draft picks in front of him. The ceiling comes in when you watch him beat up on defenders, and the way he can move his feet at 340 pounds. He didn’t allow a single sack at Georgia. Offensive line coaches will want to try to mold him because of his elite tools.
