As it currently stands, the Baltimore Ravens’ pass rush is a growing concern heading into the 2021 season. While General Manager Eric DeCosta and the front office were able to bring back outside linebackers Tyus Bowser and Pernell McPhee, the two combined for just six sacks last season including the playoffs.
The loss of Pro Bowl edge rushers Yannick Ngakoue and Matthew Judon, as well as defensive end Jihad Ward left a large chunk of snaps and production to make up for. While the Ravens did pick up a pair of edge defenders in the 2021 NFL Draft with the selection of Odafe Oweh in the first round and Daelin Hayes in the fifth, neither are proven commodities and have yet to take a snap in the NFL.
