3 free agents Ravens must target after 2024 NFL Draft.
The Baltimore Ravens are coming off of yet another disappointing playoff exit. This time, the Ravens made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game, where they ultimately fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in a 17-10 slobberknocker.
The loss highlighted Baltimore’s need for some more weapons offensively. The club acted in free agency, signing running back Derrick Henry to a two-year deal. However, the Ravens still look like they could use some more talent for Lamar Jackson on that side of the ball.
Baltimore finished with the NFL’s best record at 13-4 in 2023, so it’s not like there are a ton of issues here. But, the Ravens’ annual postseason exits are certainly cause for concern and indicate that the roster is not being built properly for a Super Bowl run.
The Ravens attacked the cornerback position in the NFL Draft, using their first-round pick on Clemson standout Nate Wiggins and selecting T.J. Tampa out of Iowa State in Round 4. Still, they didn’t really address some of their other more prominent needs.
Fortunately, there are still some players remaining in free agency who can help Baltimore heading into 2024.
Here are three names the Ravens should look at with training camp approaching.
