Iowa defensive end Lukas Van Ness

With Calais Campbell potentially retiring and Justin Houston and Jason PierrePaul entering free agency, the Ravens need to bolster their defensive line. The 6-5, 275-pound Van Ness, one of the draft’s most intriguing prospects, could be the right fit. The redshirt sophomore stood out on one of the nation’s best defenses despite never making a start, totaling 18 tackles for loss and 12 sacks over two seasons. A converted defensive tackle, Van Ness is also a powerful run defender, making him an attractive Ravens target.

Florida guard O’Cyrus Torrence

The Ravens have two reliable tackles in Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Moses and a budding star at center in rookie Tyler Linderbaum, but the interior of the offensive line has a few question marks. Right guard Kevin Zeitler is entering the final year of his deal, while left guard Ben Powers is entering unrestricted free agency. There’s still hope for 2021 third-round pick Ben Cleveland to grab a starting role, but he’s been inconsistent in his first two seasons. The Ravens could use a better pass blocker on the interior, and the 6-5, 347-pound Torrence fits the bill. The Louisiana transfer dominated against SEC competition, not allowing a sack or a hit all season. According to ESPN, he’s allowed just two sacks over nearly 3,000 career snaps.
