Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, two exceptional tight ends, and Rashod Bateman, Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens, a team that had an exhilarating season last year, captivating fans and exceeding expectations across the board. Despite the buzz around most of their roster, Rashod Bateman didn't quite live up to the hype. However, the Ravens were a betting favorite, covering the spread from week nine through the divisional round, thanks to their consistent performance in surpassing the over-under implied totals. Notably, Lamar Jackson shone brightly, earning the MVP award, and their defense, led by standouts like Kyle Hamilton and Kyle Van Noy, proved formidable even though there were some weaknesses at the linebacker position.
Looking ahead, the Ravens have made some strategic draft choices to bolster their lineup. Key additions include Nate Wiggins, a promising right tackle, Tez Walker, an exciting presence on the field, and TJ Tampa, a solid cornerback. Marlon Humphrey remains a cornerstone of the defense, and Roquan Smith, alongside the drafted talent, promises a strong off-ball linebacker duo. Offensively, the Ravens see some significant changes. Derrick Henry joins the backfield, aiming to replace the lost production of JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards. The team retains Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, two exceptional tight ends, and Rashod Bateman, despite mixed reviews, earned an extension for his crucial blocking role. Notably, Lamar Jackson has slimmed down, hinting at a shift towards agility, suggesting an increase in his rushing production. With a challenging schedule including matchups against Kansas City, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Buffalo early on, the Ravens' adaptability and strategic play will be crucial. The Ravens are poised for another competitive season, with Lamar Jackson expected to be at the center of their offensive strategy, potentially leading to another MVP-caliber performance.
