Team Needs:
Defensive End: Baltimore's No. 1 need is bolstering the pass rush, which was non-existent down the stretch. Having players who can rattle opposing passers would've prevented Ben Roethlisberger from overcoming a double-digit deficit on Christmas afternoon. The Ravens need a new defensive end to go along with Timmy Jernigan.
Rush Linebacker: Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil were once great rush linebackers, but they both declined in 2016 - and understandably so, given that they're both well into their 30s. Some young blood is needed at outside linebacker, and given all of the pass-rushing talent in the 2017 NFL Draft, Baltimore should be able to solve this issue in the early rounds.
Center: The Ravens traded away Jeremy Zuttah, so a big need has opened up at center.
Wide Receiver: Steve Smith has retired, while Mike Wallace was a predictable bust signing. The Ravens still have Breshad Perriman, who should improve, but they lack a No. 1 receiver at the moment.
Cornerback: Jimmy Smith is a decent No. 1 corner, while Tavon Young was excellent in the slot last year despite being a rookie. However, the Ravens need a third cornerback to go along with those two. Signed Brandon Carr
Guard: The Ravens really missed Kelechi Osemele this season, as his absence bogged down the offense. It'll be difficult to replace the All-Pro guard, but Ozzie Newsome will have to figure something out.
Two Offensive Tackles: Make it one if the Ravens re-sign Ricky Wagner. Ronnie Stanley and Wagner were solid last year, but there was no depth behind them. Baltimore can do better than James Hurst.
Nose Tackle: Ozzie Newsome called Brandon Williams one of the top nose tackles in the NFL. The problem is that Williams has an expiring contract in March. Re-signed Brandon Williams Inside Linebacker: Zach Orr has announced his retirement, so a replacement next to C.J. Mosley is needed.
Running Back: Kenneth Dixon was much better than Terrance West, though that easily could've just been by default. The Ravens should look into adding another running back to share the workload with Dixon. Signed Danny Woodhead
Fullback: Kyle Juszczyk is one of the NFL's top fullbacks, but he also happens to be an impending free agent.
Backup Quarterback: It seemed like the Ravens were grooming Ryan Mallett to be their No. 2 quarterback, but he's now a free agent, so we'll see if that continues. Re-signed Ryan Mallett Read more at
