The Baltimore Ravens have always prided themselves on defense. Everybody knows this. However, one aspect of the defense that has been lacking is the pass rush. The team hasn’t been top 10 in sacks since 2014. That year, Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs had Pro Bowl caliber seasons. Also, the Ravens made the playoffs, which is the most important thing. Does that mean the Ravens need a good pass rush to make the playoffs? Not necessarily, but it sure doesn’t hurt.
Ozzie Newsome and the front office has spent plenty off draft assets trying to improve the unit.
