Analyst offers incredible take on Ravens' 2026 roster

The Baltimore Ravens remain a big unknown in the AFC landscape in 2026, with Jesse Minter taking over from John Harbaugh.

An offseason that saw the franchise lose Tyler Linderbaum and Isaiah Likely, and not replace them, coupled with the signing of Trey Hendrickson, makes it hard to get a proper read on what sort of team the Ravens will be.

Of course, Lamar Jackson is at the center of it all, but as a whole, are the Ravens still at the end of the conversation?

For NFL.com's Eric Edholm, Baltimore has one of the most complete rosters in the league, coming in at No. 4 on his list of 10 teams.

"The Ravens fell off last season, and longtime head coach John Harbaugh is gone, but there’s still a deep well of talent in Baltimore for new skipper Jesse Minter," Edholm wrote. "Lamar Jackson has endured ups and downs in his play, and injuries bit him a year ago, but he remains the centerpiece of a talented and still-dangerous team."

Do Ravens really have top NFL roster?

Well, that is in the eyes of the beholder.

You could make the case that they do, simply because of Lamar, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Kyle Hamilton, and Hendrickson.

Conversely, right now, Corey Bullock is the starting center, and Mark Andrews is the only viable tight end. That's not ideal.

Yes, there's still plenty of time to add more pieces to the roster, and if Nnamdi Madubuike can come back fully healthy, he could be a game-changer.

But right do the Ravens have the fourth-best roster in football? I'm struggling to see it.
