OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- When a team falls short of the playoffs, the inclination is to focus on what went wrong. But the Baltimore Ravens put together one of the most impressive offseasons in the NFL last year.
The Ravens received an A in a re-grading of last year's free-agent signings and draft picks by ESPN's Mike Sando. This was an improvement from their original grade of 'C-plus.'
Only two other teams -- the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs -- were awarded an A for last year's offseason.
