The Baltimore Ravens have a very deep secondary, a fact that doesn’t change with the Tavon Young news. The Ravens have Marlon Humphrey, Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carr, who are three starting caliber cornerbacks. The secondary was having this trio in combination with Young as the nickel cornerback would have made an almost unfair advantage for the purple and black.
The Ravens don’t really have a player quite like Young. Young had a chance to be one of the better nickel corners in the game. The Ravens aren’t just losing a role player here; they are losing a player who is essential.
