The Baltimore Ravens continue to be a formidable force in the NFL, thanks to the dynamic play of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is flanked by a wealth of talent including running back Derrick Henry, and defensive stars such as Marlon Humphrey and Roquan Smith. The team's recent strategies aim to enhance their edge rush, an area that, while solid, lacks the star power of other positions. With 54 sacks last season, trailing only behind the Denver Broncos, the Ravens are looking to maintain their defensive intensity into the upcoming season.

Drafting Mike Green from Marshall in the second round demonstrates their commitment to bolster the defensive front. This move is crucial as they aim to elevate their sack rates, making defenses respect their ability to pressure the quarterback. Jackson's dual-threat capability combined with a reinforced defense could lead the Ravens deep into the playoffs.
