The Baltimore Ravens are one of the most intriguing teams entering the offseason. With a new head coach and a quarterback under pressure to deliver, there's little margin for error.
After last season's horror show, the Ravens have added some night pieces this offseason, but have also seen Tyler Linderbaum walk out the door.
So, some positives and negatives, but overall, the Ravens, on paper, at least, appear to be in a good spot for Minter's first season in charge.
And in ESPN's latest power rankings, the website has the Ravens at No.10, with writer Jamison Hensley naming edge as the position that improved the most.
“The Ravens are looking to get to the quarterback more often after signing Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million deal in free agency and then drafting Missouri's Zion Young in the second round,” Hensley wrote.
“Baltimore's pass rush needed a boost after the Ravens had 30 sacks last season, which was tied for 28th in the NFL and tied for their second fewest in team history.”

Are Ravens set for resurgence in 2026?
In my opinion, trying to predict anything in May is simply a guessing game, as we know that training camp is often when season expectations can alter dramatically.
So, assuming the Ravens suffer no key, long-term injuries, there's every reason to think they can be back in the playoffs in 2026.
But how Minter fares in his first head coaching role will be interesting, so too will be how Baltimore addresses the center position.
Plus, how will the defense look under Minter's watch?
So, they are all things to keep an eye on in Baltimore this offseason, but if they get a clean run on injuries and Minter adjusts well to his new role, the Ravens, in theory, should be playoff-bound.
