The Ravens have gotten great performances from players that did not have the highest of expectations. Zach Orr for example came into training camp competing for a starting job. Now, Orr is the leading tackler on the team and it isn’t even close. The Ravens had a lot of guessing work to do this offseason. They bet on a handful of positions and it worked out for the most part.
When the Ravens made the decision to cut Daryl Smith, it took some stones. They let go of an experienced player that was still very capable. Baltimore drafted Kamalei Correa in the second round.
