Ravens' Off-Season Checklist

Last season, the Ravens blew their chance at grabbing the final playoff spot as they lost to Cincinnati on the last week of the regular season. What can they do to ensure that they don't choke on the last day?

• Get Some Skill Players (done): Joe Flacco has some targets to choose from, including Willie Snead, Michael Crabtree, Hayden Hurst, and John Brown. The Ravens are hoping that Flacco won't struggle as much regarding how to find his receivers. The Ravens almost got Ryan Grant, but he failed his physical.
  
• Work on the Defensive Line (not done): The only guaranteed starter up front is Brandon Williams. Everyone else is either disappointing or can't stay healthy.
  
• Get Flacco a Backup (done): Joe Flacco may not be fine with someone like Lamar Jackson backing him up, but the Ravens can't have a quarterback who will turn the ball over any given minute. Jackson is a mobile quarterback who is also capable of throwing 300+ yards in an NFL game.
  
• Work on Pass Protection (partially done): Part of Flacco's issues last season came from the lack of protection. After all, getting intercepted 13 times along with being sacked 27 times and concussed doesn't make the job easier. Drafting Orlando Brown, Bradley Bozeman, and Greg Senat will be fine. However, the Ravens still have a question mark at the offensive guard position.
