Baltimore Ravens Get Surprising News From NFL Insiders Ahead of Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens received upbeat preseason positioning ahead of 2026 training camp after ESPN NFL analysts Mike Clay, Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder ranked all 32 rosters. Using evaluations tied to talent, age and production, Baltimore placed No. 5, positioning the team among the league’s elite as Lamar Jackson prepares for a new offensive phase. The Ravens missed the playoffs last season and made changes around the two-time NFL MVP, with a projected core featuring Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews on offense. Defensively, the group includes Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, Nnamdi Madubuike and newcomer Trey Hendrickson, with Clay citing safety Kyle Hamilton as the biggest strength. The analysts flagged the interior offensive line as Baltimore’s main concern, especially after center Tyler Linderbaum signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. A first-year coordinator, Declan Doyle, will oversee an effort focused on more explosiveness and consistency.
