We kick off our preview of the 2016 season with the Baltimore Ravens.
The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens won’t kick off their 2016 season until September 11th, but during the down time in the NFL offseason, we are going to take a look at the Ravens with some help from our SB Nation blog, Baltimore Beatdown:
Notable free agent additions: DB Eric Weddle, WR Mike Wallace, TE Benjamin Watson
Notable departures: OT Eugene Monroe, OG Kelechi Osemele, QB Matt Schaub, OLB Courtney Upshaw
Trades: None
Draft picks expected to contribute as rookies:
1st round (6th overall) OT Ronnie Stanley - When Eugene Monroe was cut, it was clear the Ravens have complete faith for the young gun to become a blindside blocker
2nd round (42nd overall) LB Kamalei Correa - There is some uncertainty where Correa will be playing, as the Ravens are testing the speedy LB at inside & outside positions.
