For most, the Baltimore Ravens' biggest draft need is to add an offensive lineman to help protect Lamar Jackson.
With Tyler Linderbaum now a Las Vegas Raider, getting the interior strengthened has to be one of the franchise's top priorities.
Picking at No. 14, there's a fair chance that the Ravens will have their pick of the top offensive linemen in the class, but who could/should the franchise be looking at?
Well, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. just dropped his latest mock, and he might have given the Ravens their ideal draft selection -- Spencer Fano.
“Taking Fano here would give Baltimore options,” Kiper Jr. wrote. “He could stick at his traditional position and become a swing tackle in Year 1 behind Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten before eventually taking a starter role.
"He could kick inside to guard and replace Andrew Vorhees. Or he could even be the team's next starting center after Tyler Linderbaum signed with the Raiders; Fano took snaps at the combine to show teams he could handle the pivot.”

Well, you could make that case, as Kiper Jr. just laid out exactly why he could be.
Able to play in a variety of positions, including center, Fano could be the Ravens' offensive chess piece, able to line up nearly anywhere.
Given that Lamar needs protection and with no Linderbaum, I wonder if Baltimore could make Fano its new center this offseason. Granted, having a rookie in such an important position isn't ideal, but Fano, it appears, has all the tools to make it work.
Is Spencer Baltimore's ideal pick? He very well could be.
Spencer Fano is an offensive lineman highlighted by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. as a top prospect that could help bolster the Ravens' offensive line.
The Ravens' biggest draft need is to add an offensive lineman to protect quarterback Lamar Jackson, especially after the departure of Tyler Linderbaum.
