During the offseason the Ravens seemingly cobbled together an impressive roster, one that many concluded was the best in the team’s illustrious history. And its architect was none other than General Manager Eric DeCosta.
In every way that is good, the 30-year organizational veteran is a savage. He tirelessly seeks ways to improve the team while being keenly mindful of the salary cap impact of any personnel move. He considers every nuance of every decision in a manner that improves the probability of its success. Of course there are no guarantees, but generally speaking, DeCosta operates like a Grandmaster on the chessboard, while others play checkers.
