The analyst considers the Baltimore Ravens a top priority at the trade deadline

The Baltimore Ravens they suffered a surprising blow in week 8 when they fell to Cleveland Browns the result was 29:24.

It was the first time the Browns broke the 20-point barrier since December of last year, and considering how much the Ravens usually pride themselves on their defense, it’s shocking that Baltimore gave up so much of its offense to such a rotten team.

Failure revealed something quite obvious areas of need for Kruków and Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report he believes one category in particular stands out: cornerback.

While Davenport acknowledges that Baltimore was lost without Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins, he adds that it’s obvious the Ravens lack depth at the position.

“The Ravens entered Week 8 ranked 28th in net yards per pass and 32nd in passing yards,” Davenport wrote. “Injuries further underscore Baltimore’s need for depth at cornerback, and if depth isn’t improved before the postseason, the Ravens may have difficulty fielding other contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs and Texans in January.”

Sure, Baltimore has struggled in the secondary all season long, but that’s still not a viable excuse for finishing last in the NFL last year. passing defense.

The Ravens allowed Jameis Winston to throw for 334 yards and three touchdowns. It’s ugly no matter how you spin it.

Baltimore has been connected with plenty of running backs in the run-up to the NFL trade deadline, and at this point the Ravens would be remiss not to make a move.

Baltimore ranks a shocking 25th in the league in yards allowed and 26th in scoring defense, which are truly shocking numbers for a team that generally ranks near the top of the NFL defensively.

We’ll see if the Ravens fix this glaring problem before November 5.
