The Baltimore Ravens drafted offensive lineman Roger Rosengarten in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft. He is widely expected to win the team’s vacant right tackle job, which would set up an extremely important rookie year.
When ranking the most important rookies of 2024, Josh Edwards of CBS Sports put Rosengarten at No. 4 on his list. When explaining why, he mentioned how the offensive line as a whole is undergoing massive turnover, with a lot of uncertainty ahead.
“Baltimore will likely advertise a training camp battle at right tackle between Daniel Faalele, Patrick Mekari and Rosengarten, but one would assume that the job is the 2024 second-round selection’s to lose. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley has struggled to stay healthy and second-year offensive guard Andrew Vorhees will be stepping in for Kevin Zeitler. It is a lot of turnover for a team regarded as the AFC’s best team for much of last season.”
Baltimore is replacing three starters from last season on its offensive line, which is no easy task. Rosengarten has the traits and skills to be successful at the NFL level; it’s just a matter of putting them all together.
