4. This Team Will Only Get More Talented

The Ravens are probably done in free agency but they have a shot to make the Ravens better in the NFL Draft. With nine picks at their disposal, including the sixth overall pick, the Ravens will insert young talent into this roster. The Ravens have a couple areas of need still. It would behoove them to draft a pass rusher (especially with Terrell Suggs’s uncertain future) It would also be wise to get a cornerback.

Today the Ravens are a better team than they were last season. Just imagine how the team will look after a good draft by Ozzie Newsome and company. If you don’t think the Ravens have a plan, think again. I’m willing to bet that Newsome has a plan A, a plan B and maybe even a plan Z. The Ravens are in attack mode this offseason and that is where the Ravens are at their best.

There may be many questions facing the Ravens right now, but consider the following thought. If the Ravens address their depth in the secondary and along the offensive line and get one or two more pieces to the puzzle, the Ravens will have all the answers.
