Right Defensive End:

1. Brent Urban: With Cris Canty out of the picture, this should be Brent Urban’s starting job to lose. Urban was drafted by the Ravens in 2014. He didn’t get on the field until 2015 because of an injury. In six games, Urban had 11 tackles, one sack and blocked a last second field goal against the Browns. Urban is a huge defensive end whose length and explosive ability is easy to identify.

Urban is one of the players that has untapped potential going into the 2016 season. He has a chance to be a classic kind of Ravens player. He is tough, gritty and relentless.

2. Lawrence Guy: Guy is not somebody who “wows” you. He is a very dependable player though, and he has a high motor. Guy figures to be a rotational player in the Ravens defense. He is a good player against the run. He plays with sound technique.

Next: Left Outside Linebacker
