Ravens can’t ignore Vega Ioane after Bengals’ big swing to add Lawrence
The Bengals' bold addition of Dexter Lawrence may have just forced the Ravens' hand in the first round.
The Baltimore Ravens didn’t need another reminder about life in the AFC North. They got one anyway. The Cincinnati Bengals made a statement by acquiring Dexter Lawrence .
That instantly upgrades their defensive front with one of the league's most disruptive interior forces. It wasn't just a splash move. It was a message to the rest of the division.
Keep up or get left behind. For Baltimore, that message hits close to home. This is already a team coming off a season where the offensive line struggled to find consistency, particularly on the interior.
Now, they'll be tasked with handling Lawrence twice a year, all while replacing Tyler Linderbaum, who was once their best interior lineman. That changes the equation. There has been plenty of speculation about what the Ravens might do at No.
