The Baltimore Ravens are trying to rebuild instantaneously. If they want to be contenders they have to have answers for these five problems:

Before free agency started, the Baltimore Ravens were not looking so hot. They were coming off an 8-8 season that ended with a Christmas loss to the Steelers and a humiliatingly flat effort in week 17. The Ravens were expected to lose all three of their top free agents and there wasn’t much cap space to be found. 2017 was starting to look like a dire situation.

When the Ravens signed Tony Jefferson and Danny Woodhead things were starting to look up. When they retained Brandon Williams, all the sudden, it seemed like the Ravens were going for the jugular. The Ravens have solved a ton of problems. With a good draft and maybe even another signing or two, the Ravens can be back in contention. The defense looks really strong.

We should be easing off Ozzie Newsome and Eric DeCosta right now, but that doesn’t mean they can stop their flow. They have a lot of work to do. I don’t want to get off of jubilation station but there are some roadblocks on this track. Here are five problems that still face the Ravens.
