Late for Work: Ravens Have the NFL's Top-Ranked Secondary

### **Trying to Identify Ravens' Biggest Need, Pundit Says Roster Is 'Near Faultless'**

[CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/biggest-remaining-need-for-every-afc-team-jets-wide-receivers-bengals-edge-rushers-headline-list/) identified the biggest remaining need for each AFC team. Finding one for the Ravens was a challenge.

"Baltimore's roster is near faultless," Edwards wrote. "The Ravens have done a great job of adding help at positions of need."

Edwards ultimately went with the defensive line, but noted, "The level of concern is much lower relative to other teams' situations.

"Nnamdi Madubuike is the rock of that unit, but depth has been thinning out. Older, but productive edge rusher Kyle Van Noy returns, as well as Odafe Oweh. The team selected Marshall edge rusher Mike Green in the second round after he spent months in first-round projections. There is a path where that group does not live up to specifications."

On a related note, [CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/winning-the-afc-north-reasons-the-bengals-browns-ravens-and-steelers-can-claim-the-division-crown-in-2025/) came up with one reason why each AFC North team can win the division. Regarding the Ravens, he didn't have to think too hard.

"They're still the most complete team in the North," Benjamin wrote. "Unlike the rival Steelers, the Ravens didn't make any major splashes this offseason, but that's partially because they didn't have to. Lamar Jackson has his playoff hurdles to clear, but he's still one of a select few transcendent talents at quarterback going into Year 8, boasting improved passing efficiency in back-to-back years."

If the Ravens stay healthy, Benjamin said, "It's just hard to beat their combination of talent and experience under a coach in John Harbaugh who's been there, done that."
