BALTIMORE RAVENS
Head Coach: John Harbaugh
2020 Record: 11-5
First Round Draft Pick: Rashad Bateman, WR (27); Jason Oweh, Edge (31)
With a much-needed win in the first round of the playoffs last year, Lamar got that monkey off his back... but it didn't take long before the Ravens' post season run was over yet again. Using a first-round pick on a Wide Receiver is certainly a step in the right direction, because we believe Lamar is much more than just a run-for-your-life scrambler, and Baltimore needed more talent in their receiving corps to let Jackson show his stuff. Consider this study in contrasts: The Ravens last year were #1 in yards per rush, rushes per game, and rushing yards per game -- and #32 in passes per game and passing yards per game (and yes, that's #32 out of 32). The defense did their job, ranking #1 in the league for points allowed per game -- so if Harbaugh and co. can figure out the passing game, we like the Ravens to win the AFC North.
