Here are some excerpts from their breakdown of the Ravens:
Biggest energy in 2023: Ground Game
“The Ravens’ floor assault was scary sufficient when defenses needed to cope with Lamar Jackson and any slew of middle-of-the-pack working backs Baltimore determined to characteristic. Now, they should account for Derrick Henry as effectively. While Henry is getting up there in age, (he can be 30 years previous when the season begins), he confirmed final season he nonetheless has one thing left within the tank, as his 90.1 PFF grade was the second-highest mark of his profession. Jackson, alternatively, continued to show he is essentially the most thrilling participant within the league, as his 90.8 dashing grade and 975 dashing yards (together with playoffs) helped lead him to his second MVP award in 2023.”
X-factor for 2024: G Andrew Vorhees
“Andrew Vorhees is an fascinating story, as regardless of tearing his ACL in the course of the NFL mix, he nonetheless elected to do the bench press anyway and put up 38 reps, essentially the most amongst offensive linemen in attendance. Despite being projected to go as early as Day 2, Vorhees fell to the seventh spherical (231st general) because of the harm. His misfortune could also be Baltimore’s acquire, although, because the Ravens have been in a position to stash him away whereas he recovered, and he now seems set to take over the beginning left guard job. Vorhees’ restoration is crucial, as exterior of Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum, the Ravens are fairly skinny on the offensive line and can be counting on some unproven commodities in different spots.”
Rookie to look at: WR Devontez Walker
“Due to how skinny the Ravens’ receiving room is, there may be ample alternative for somebody to step up and steal a beginning position and Devontez Walker appears most primed to make that leap. At one level thought-about a first-round prospect, Walker fell to the fourth spherical after an inconsistent 2023 that noticed him miss time attributable to NCAA eligibility points. Walker ran a 4.36-second 40-yard sprint so he has the pace to take the highest off defenses and make performs for this Ravens offense.”
