3. The Ravens Seem To Have A Plan

The Baltimore Ravens seem to have a plan. They need to take care of a few needs. If they hit on all four of their picks in the first three rounds, they could be contenders in 2017. This is a huge opportunity for the purple and black to win now while they build the future. The better position in the third round could make a huge difference.

The Ravens seem to have a plan. They attacked the defense in free agency. They should probably be focused on the offense in the NFL Draft. Their biggest needs now lie at the wide receiver position and along the offensive line. The Ravens also need to get better at the pass rushing department and cornerback is still a position that could use young talent.

The Jernigan trade doesn’t make another need for the Ravens. The defensive line looks pretty stacked. This could all be part of the plan to fill the other needs on the roster.
