Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees is the happiest man in Baltimore this weekend. Following the re-signing of nose tackle Brandon Williams, and the acquisitions of Tony Jefferson and Brandon Carr in free agency; the Ravens spent all four of their early picks in the 2017 NFL draft on impact defenders. The result is an impressive collection of defensive playmakers with championship caliber depth and the versatility to dominate against any offensive scheme.
On paper, the Ravens defense is exceptionally strong up the middle. Brandon Williams is one of the very best run stuffers in the NFL.
