After the clock hit 0:00 on the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles hoisting the Lombardi trophy, there’s only one logical thing to do: think about who will win next year.
Fortunately, ESPN released a set of power rankings as the 2025 offseason has arrived. Of course, rankings like these will likely change the farther the offseason rolls on, with free agency and the results of the 2025 NFL Draft having impacts.
In those rankings, the Ravens were ranked No. 5. When asked to describe the 2025 offseason in three words, ESPN’s Jamison Hensley wrote “offensive line again.”
Baltimore is no stranger to revamping an offensive line, as it was tasked with replacing three starters from last year’s team. The results speak for themselves.
It remains to be seen what the Ravens will choose to do with Ronnie Stanley. On one hand, he’ll be 31-years-old in March and has missed time with injuries in his career. On the other hand, he reached the Pro Bowl for the second time in his career this season.

According to Spotrac, Stanley’s market value is that of the fifth-best offensive tackle with a projected salary of $20.7 million. We’ll see just how close the Ravens want to get to that.
Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta seems like he plans to keep his cards close to the chest as far as which direction the Ravens will go when it comes to bolstering the line.
“We’ll look at potentially bringing back our guys. We’ll look at the draft. We’ll look at free agency. We’ll overturn every rock to find as many good offensive linemen as we can,” DeCosta said per Hensley.
The Ravens have the No. 27 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Considering how quick tackles usually go, it might be more beneficial to take one of the top interior linemen than a tackle ranked outside of the top five at the position.
