The Baltimore Ravens are all aboard the Lamar Jackson train, as they traded away former franchise quarterback Joe Flacco this offseason. Jackson stepped up big time as a rookie for the Ravens when Flacco went down due to injury last season, and will be expected to  take another step forward in year two.

This offseason, the Ravens have sent a lot of Jackson’s weapons packing, parting ways with guys like Michael Crabtree and John Brown. They did bring on a solid running back in Mark Ingram, and bolstered their secondary with Earl Thomas, but they need more talent on the outside at the wide receiver position.

Enter Marquise Brown, who could end up being the most electric rookie wide receiver in the NFL next season. During his time at Oklahoma, Brown showed the ability to  take the lid off the defense, and Jackson has the kind of big play ability at quarterback that would make this tandem something special.

The addition of Thomas to the secondary was nice, but they did lose a ton of leadership in Eric Weddle, and middle linebacker C.J. Mosley. It will be interesting to see where the Ravens fall in the pecking order in the AFC North this season, because they did add some talent, but have a long way to go if they want to repeat.
