Ravens Draft: Morgan Moses Replacement in First Round with Oklahoma's Tyler Guyton

The Ravens will have to address the offensive line either in the draft or free agency.

The Baltimore Ravens are down an offensive lineman after trading Morgan Moses along with a 2024 fourth-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick and a 2024 sixth-round pick.

In a recent mock draft, Fox Sports' David Helman and Carmen Vitali think the Ravens can replace Moses with Oklahoma Sooners offensive tackle Tyler Guyton.

"The Ravens rarely worry about need, positional value or any of the other talking points — they just draft the best player available," Fox Sports noted. "Guyton fits the bill in this spot. Plenty of draft analysts think he needs time to develop, and he’ll have that in Baltimore. Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Moses are still the Ravens’ likely starters for 2024, but Guyton would be a valuable swing tackle with an eye on starting in short order. 

"He’s also a heck of an insurance policy should one of the veterans get hurt — which was a consistent issue in 2023."

The 6-8, 322-pounder from Manor, Texas, projects with a prospect grade of 6.42 according to NFL.com, meaning he should become a good starter within two years. That's about as far out as you'd want a first-round pick to project, although ideally, a team's first-round selection contributes immediately.

Should Ravens Target Rival Wide Receiver In Free Agency?

Draft experts consider Guyton to be versatile enough to be either a left or right tackle, something the Ravens typically look for in an offensive lineman - versatility.

There are lots of directions the Ravens could go here, but if there's a potential starting offensive lineman in the mix, that could be the direction they go.
