Following a 2017 season that saw them go 9-7 and miss the AFC playoffs on the final drive of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Baltimore Ravens underwent a number of changes this offseason, signing four veteran free agents, promoting Eric DeCosta to General Manager in waiting, and transitioning from Dean Pees to Don Martindale at defensive coordinator.
On top of free agency and some coaching staff reshuffling, the Ravens shook up the roster in a big way in the 2018 NFL Draft, selecting star quarterback Lamar Jackson out of Louisville, while adding six other offensive pieces in hopes of jump-starting a stagnant offensive system under Marty Mornhinweg.
