BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~185 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~200
ANALYSIS: The Ravens are ranked around 13th or 14th on the season, depending on the fantasy rankings system you use, but I believe they can get back to their elite ways in 2022, or at least close to it.
The Ravens ranked 21st in my BOD rankings in 2021 and 28th in defensive efficiency overall, but they were decimated by injuries, so you almost need to throw out last year when trying to evaluate this defense.
In the offseason, the Ravens replaced defensive coordinator Don Martindale with Mike Macdonald, who led John Harbaugh's brother Jim's defense at Michigan last year. Macdonald will bring a more forward-thinking and schematically diverse defense, which should help to bring this unit back to prominence. Especially since they still have tons of talent and added more by signing safety Marcus Williams and nose tackle Michael Pierce in free agency.
They also used the 14th pick on safety Kyle Hamilton and the 76th pick on defensive tackle Travis Jones, so they have reloaded this team with even more talent. The Ravens start the year with a solid schedule with the Jets likely being led by Joe Flacco, and while I probably won't run the Ravens out against the Bills in Week 4, I love the first three matchups and will be targeting them often in drafts.
