Grading Ravens offensive position groups ahead of preseason finale

The Ravens have wrapped up training camp and will play their second preseason contest in six days when they travel to Tampa tomorrow for a matchup with the Buccaneers.

Lamar Jackson and other key starters are expected to sit out, while crucial rookies and veterans will have one final opportunity to jump off the roster bubble.

With all 32-team set to trim the rosters from 90 to 53, we are grading the Ravens’ offensive positions ahead of the preseason finale.

It’s hard to guage this group without Lamar Jackson, but through two preseason games, and two joint practices, Ravens quarterbacks have seen vast improvement under Todd Monken.

As the starter, Lamar Jackson has taken ownership of the offense, while both preseason games have seen a Baltimore quarterback finish the contest with a 100+ QBR or better.

Baltimore has improved at the position and the early absence of J.K. Dobbins provided an opportunity for Keaton Mitchell to establish himself as an undrafted free agent.

Justice Hill has been the constant bright spot, while Gus Edwards adds versatility and toughness.

WR-- A+

Odell Beckham is healthy and looks inspired, while Zay Flowers has been electric early-on and has provided Lamar Jackson with another elite talent.

Rashod Bateman is back and looking for a new deal, while Nelson Agholor should provide some pop on the outside.

Tylan Wallace, Sean Ryan and Tarik Black have been outstanding in reserve roles.

TE -- A

Mark Andrews is going to do his thing, and Isaiah Likely is solid when he’s available.

The breakout summer’s for Charlie Kolar and Travis Vokolek have made this position group even more versatile.

Patrick Ricard is a talented hybrid that can play multiple positions.

It’s a talented group, but needs Ronnie Stanley to be fully healthy, along with John Simpson being a standout at left guard.

Morgan Moses and Daniel Faalele have been solid this summer, while Ben Cleveland and Sala Aumavae-Laulu have been underwhelming.
