Over the past 25 years, the Baltimore Ravens have established themselves as one of the best-run organizations in the NFL. And thanks in no small part to moves by the Ravens front office like the trade up in the 2018 draft for Lamar Jackson, the Ravens had the best record in the league last season.

That 14-win season ended in disappointing fashion in the divisional round, but the Ravens appear to be gearing up for another deep playoff run. And after committing the NFL trade equivalent of grand larceny by acquiring Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell, the Ravens are in excellent position to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs for the top spot in the AFC.
