Report : Analyzing the improvement or decline of specific units after the waves of free agency and the draft.

The Baltimore Ravens were the best and most complete team in the league last season thanks in large part to their incredible depth and being extremely stout in the the trenches on both sides of the ball. After having numerous starters and key contributors playing either on one-year deals or the final year of their rookie contracts, they were bound to lose a bevy of talent in free agency and the turnover inevitably came to pass.

In the nearly two months since the new league year began, the Ravens watched 15 of their unrestricted free agents sign elsewhere and have brought in a fair amount of talent as well via free agency and the 2024 NFL Draft. Here is a breakdown of which position groups on the team saw the most and least improvement as well as which ones pretty much stayed the same.

Cornerback

Veterans Ronald Darby and Rock Ya-Sin served as the Ravens’ primary backups, stop-gap starters and rotational pieces on the outside last year as three-time Pro Bowler Marlon Humphrey was plagued with injuries for most of the year. Darby signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars during the initial wave of free agency and Ya-Sin signed with the San Francisco 49ers a few weeks later. The only pending free agent defensive back the Ravens re-signed was seven-year veteran Arthur Maulet who had a career year splitting time in the slot with 2023 All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton.
