This would be very welcome by Lamar.

Ravens could make ideal draft selection for Lamar Jackson originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . One of the Baltimore Ravens ' biggest needs after the first wave of free agency is to solidify Lamar Jackson's protection.

With Tyler Linderbaum, Lamar's three-time Pro Bowl center, now in Las Vegas with the Raiders , a huge hole has opened up along the offensive line. Some thought Baltimore might look to free agency to fill that hole, but it hasn't yet. There are other areas of concern along the line as well, and for ESPN's Matt Bowen, he's named Spencer Fano as a good fit for the Ravens.

โ€œFano played the entirety of his collegiate career at both tackle positions, but he could move inside for the Ravens,โ€ Bowen wrote . โ€œHis ability to win in space would fit under new coordinator Declan Doyle, who worked with Ben Johnson last season in Chicago. โ€œWith his foot speed, Fano also can keep the pocket firm in pass protection for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

He gave up just four pressures and zero sacks in 2025. โ€ More: ESPN gives Chiefs easy fit in NFL Draft Lamar has to be protected If the Ravens are to have the season they want under new head coach Jesse Minter, then Lamar is going to need to be protected. Corey Bullock is slated to be the starting center at the time of writing, and if we add in Fano to solidify the interior, maybe the Ravens will get good production from the offensive line.
