The Ravens have a loaded roster with explosive players on both sides of the football.
The additions of Ronald Darby and Jadeveon Clowney have made it difficult for the handful of rookies or veterans on the roster bubble.
With the roster cutdown date set for Tuesday afternoon, we released the final 53-man roster prediction of the summer.
Baltimore is stacked, but there are difficult decisions at the quarterback, running back, defensive back, and linebacker positions.
With teams around the league already making roster cuts, we’re looking at the locks to make the Ravens’ 53-man roster.
QB
Roster locks (1): Lamar Jackson
Jackson is the centerpiece, while Josh Johnson, Tyler Huntley, and Anthony Brown could all warrant discussion for the backup QB job.
RB
Roster locks (3): J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Patrick Ricard
Dobbins and Edwards are the engine that’ll make the train go, while Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell offer solid complements.
Ricard played a career-high 64% of the offensive snaps in 2022, and although his usage rate will decrease, he’ll still see time in the backfield, as an H-Back, and along the offensive line.
WR
Roster locks (4): Odell Beckham Jr., Rashod Bateman, Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor
Tylan Wallace and Devin Duvernay should make the roster, but the big-4 are automatics.
TE
Roster locks (2):Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely
Charlie Kolar has done enough to warrant a roster spot, while rookie Travis Vokolek has made things difficult.
OL
Roster locks (7): Ronnie Stanley, John Simpson, Tyler Linderbaum, Kevin Zeitler, Morgan Moses, Patrick Mekari, Daniel Faalele
Baltimore will carry 9 or 10 on the offensive line, but these seven can’t miss.
DL
Roster locks (4): Michael Pierce, Justin Madubuike, Broderick Washington, Travis Jones
Baltimore could carry five at the defensive tackle, interior defensive tackle spot, but these four players are guaranteed.
Edge Rusher
Roster locks (3):Odafe Oweh, David Ojabo, Jadeveon Clowney
Bowser could miss games to start the season, while rookie Tavius Robinson was a fourth-round pick and should make the 53.
MLB
Roster locks (2): Roquan Smith, Patrick Queen
Position notes: Simpson returned from injury and a rocky preseason outing, while we have Del’Shawn Phillips making the 53-man roster after a standout summer.
Malik Harrison also had a tremendous summer.
CB
Roster locks (3): Marlon Humphrey, Rock Ya-Sin, Ronald Darby
S/DB--3
Roster lock (3): Marcus Williams, Kyle Hamilton, Geno Stone
Special Teams
Roster locks (3):Justin Tucker, Jordan Stout, Tyler Ott
