Baltimore Ravens. 19. team. 26. . . Previous:

No change for the Baltimore Ravens in our NFL power rankings ahead of the regular season.

And while there are still some notable concerns for head coach John Harbaugh entering 2019, the Ravens seem poised to retain so much of their defensive prowess despite losing a number of key players during the offseason.

Losing C.J. Mosley hurt, sure. So did veteran EDGE Terrell Suggs to the Cardinals.

Mosley’s absence puts a lot of pressure on linebacker Patrick Onwuasor will be under a lot of pressure to fill Mosley’s stead this season. If he can get some help from the pass rush, expect Baltimore to be right back in the postseason hunt amid a dangerous AFC North.

Yet so much focus will be on quarterback Lamar Jackson. If he takes that massive leap many second-year players do, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Ravens wind up one of the most balanced teams in the league this season.
