Where do Ravens Land in Post-Draft NFL Power Rankings?
The Baltimore Ravens entered the NFL Draft with some needs that had to be addressed, and for the most part, they covered all of them.
The Raven's draft haul includes Zay Flowers, Trenton Simpson, Tavius Robinson, Kyu Blu Kelly, Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, and Andrew Vorhees.
The biggest name is Flowers, who adds another dimension to a Ravens offense now brimming with talent. Many are happy with the Ravens' draft choices, and in Dan Hanzus' latest power rankings for NFL.com, Baltimore is the biggest winner.
Originally at No.13, Baltimore jumped seven spots into No. 6 for Hanzus.
"Everything In Its Right Place," Hanzus wrote. "Lamar Jackson is back with his flock on a historic new contract, and the clouds have parted in an instant above Charm City. Baltimore used the top of its draft on Boston College star Zay Flowers, a dynamic playmaker who joins a wide receiver room that has more talent than it did at any previous time during Jackson's tenure as starter. Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman are a legit trio, while Mark Andrews returns as one of the best playmaking tight ends in the sport.
“Lamar got his money (well, most of it) ... and the supporting cast he's desired for years. It's time for the Ravens' offense to fly again."
It's easy to see why Baltimore has jumped so high. Most knew what is to come from the stifling defense, but it was offensively where the biggest question marks remained.
Not now. With Jackson returning, the additions of Beckham Jr. and Flowers coupled with a defense that is one of the best in the league, the Ravens are legit AFC and possibly Super Bowl contender's next season.
But, are they the seventh-best team in football? On paper, it's hard to argue.
