Tyler Linderbaum signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, leaving the Ravens in need of a new center.
Losing Linderbaum creates a gap in the Ravens' offensive line, making it crucial for them to find a suitable replacement in the upcoming draft.
Several centers were taken in the 140s early in the fifth round, limiting the Ravens' options to address the center position.

This was always going to be tough for Baltimore. They were never going to get an equivalent to Linderbaum, who is one of the best to play the position.
But they need someone adequate. They can't let Lamar Jackson down with too bad a player snapping him the ball and protecting the interior.
It was a position of need this offseason. Seven teams needed a new starting center, by most measures. There were only two obvious starting centers available in free agency beyond Linderbaum.
The Ravens clearly didn't feel great about the draftable centers or they would've prioritized it more.
But what are they going to do now? That's still an open question.
