The Baltimore Ravens have a ton of young talent. If these five players can step up to the next level, the Ravens will be a tough out next season.

The Baltimore Ravens have an impossible amount of work to do this offseason. It’s like a college kid who procrastinated and had to do an entire project in one night. Believe me, I’ve been there, and it’s not a good situation to be in. The purple and black need help left and right, up and down. Right now, they look like they’ll go 7-9 next year. John Harbaugh, Ozzie Newsome and Eric DeCosta have seven months to change that.

I know it’s hopeful thinking, but maybe we misread the rubric. Maybe there is less work to do through the spring and the summer than we thought. If the Ravens have young players step up, they have less problems than they think. They have a good bit of work to do, no matter what. It would be nice to be able to bet on the up and coming Ravens to make the workload possible.

With that in mind, let’s look at the players that could change the Ravens circumstances. These Baltimore Ravens could be the difference between another unbearable offseason or a playoff spot.
