Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is emphasizing the top priority for his team this offseason. He aims to bolster the offensive line to provide better support for his agile quarterback, Lamar Jackson.

Harbaugh stressed the need for rebuilding in that area and has already taken steps to address it, considering it the utmost priority for their offensive strategy. Despite the Ravens’ strong performance in reaching the AFC Championship game in 2023, ultimately losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, Harbaugh recognizes the importance of fortifying their offensive line to enhance their chances of returning to the Super Bowl, a feat they haven’t achieved in over a decade. While Harbaugh has made adjustments to the defensive coaching staff, he also acknowledges the necessity of providing greater protection for Jackson.

This focus aligns with the statistics, as Jackson faced significant pressure during the 2023 regular season, being sacked 37 times, according to ESPN. His vulnerability was further evident in the playoffs, where he endured four sacks in the AFC Championship game and three in the preceding playoff matchup against the Houston Texans.

Harbaugh underscores the fundamental principle that success begins with strength in the trenches, as emphasized on the team’s social media channels.

The Baltimore Ravens are eyeing several offensive linemen as potential first-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. Among the names linked to the team are Amarius Mims from Georgia and Graham Barton from Duke, as reported by Baltimore Beatdown. With the 30th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Ravens are positioned to make a strategic selection to address their offensive line needs.

Like all other teams, the Ravens will closely monitor the proceedings of this year’s NFL Draft combine, recognizing its significance in evaluating prospects and making informed decisions for their team’s future.
