Baltimore Ravens. 11. team. 26. . 10-6 record.

The Joe Flacco era with the Baltimore Ravens, and we’re officially fully into the Lamar Jackson show at quarterback.

That’s a very good thing.

Jackson needs some help, however, and the Ravens would be wise to give him at least one massive threat at wide receiver. Help at tight end and some reinforcements along the offensive line would be a bonus as well.

Baltimore can take advantage of what has become a tumultuous AFC North as of late. As noted earlier, the Steelers have become something of a mess. The Bengals need a massive overhaul, and the Browns aren’t quite there yet.

That said, the Ravens need to do more than just get a wide receiver this offseason. They need to get younger on defense, namely finding a long-term replacement for veteran EDGE Terrell Suggs, who’ll turn 37 years old this upcoming season.

But when you boast the No. 2 scoring defense in the league a year ago and gave up fewer yards than anyone else, you have to stay pretty high in NFL power rankings.
