GM Eric DeCosta told at least one truth at the annual “Liars’ Luncheon:” that the Ravens need to fill several holes on defense through the draft.
Baltimore has to overhaul its defensive line, add playmakers at inside and outside linebacker, in the secondary, and find a pass rusher. The Ravens also need more depth in the secondary behind Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey.
In short, this is a critical draft for “plug-and-play” performers.
“Every pick you bring in, you expect this guy to play,” DeCosta said. “You’re not going to draft a guy if you don’t think this guy is going to help your team – that’s just a bad mentality.
