Ravens Leave Draft Without a Clear Answer at Center

Analysts warn the vacancy threatens cohesion up front for Lamar Jackson.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Aaron Schatz, whose team-by-team review published Friday, named center as Baltimore’s biggest lingering need after free agency and the draft.
  • The Ravens finished the 2026 draft without selecting a true center, and GM Eric DeCosta said he would not redo his choices based on how the board fell.
  • In-house candidates Corey Bullock and Jovaughn Gwyn have almost no NFL experience, with 13 and 11 career offensive snaps respectively.
  • Baltimore signed veteran Danny Pinter before the draft, and he could start in 2026 after logging limited snaps last season and a strong two-game stint at center in 2024.
  • Possible fixes under discussion include sliding guard Andrew Vorhees to center or signing veterans such as Ryan Kelly, Ethan Pocic, or Liam Eichenberg.
