Baltimore still lacking a clear answer at Center
Eric DeCosta admitted after the draft that the Ravens are still “trying to figure” out their situation at center. General managers don’t usually speak that bluntly unless there’s a real concern. While Baltimore addressed other needs over the weekend, questions remain about who will be snapping the ball to Lamar Jackson.
Danny Pinter, Corey Bullock, Nick Dawkins and Jovaughn Gwyn are currently listed on the depth chart. But none of them has established himself as a clear starter just yet.
DeCosta didn’t hide that the board didn’t break in their favour. They went after certain centers but came away empty-handed, which is why they left draft weekend without a clear replacement.

The conversation around centre isn’t just about keeping the ball moving or holding up in protection. It’s about whether the offense can remain as flexible as it needs to be. Jackson thrives when the middle of the pocket feels secure, giving him time for full-field reads, movement options, and adjustments at the line of scrimmage.
Baltimore Beatdown called center “the roster’s sore spot” after breaking down post-draft depth charts, and it’s hard to argue with that assessment. Unlike other positions where talent around it can cover up weaknesses, centre issues show up on every single snap.
The candidates for the Ravens' center position include Danny Pinter, Corey Bullock, Nick Dawkins, and Jovaughn Gwyn.

Adding Vega Ioane and other interior players should have brought more stability up front, but the centre spot still feels unsettled. Instead of feeling shored up, the focus remains on the one position without a clear solution.
DeCosta also pointed out there’s still plenty of time before September, which is true. And that’s why centre now feels like Baltimore’s next real move. The post-draft roster can function with competition there. It does not yet look complete with competition there.
