The Baltimore Ravens are loaded with talent at the skill positions. Who makes the final 53-man roster?

The Baltimore Ravens have been a franchise that has been largely built on a defense with stars and an offense that does just enough to get the job done.

That all could change this season.

The defense has been shaky during the first two preseason games. The first-team offense for both the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts marched down the field with little resistance. Unfortunately, we saw a lot of that last season and it’s showing its ugly self once again.

Baltimore is going to need to score points in bunches if the defense cannot make stops. The good news is that the Ravens might have the most depth at the skill positions in franchise history.

The Ravens are loaded with talent that will make some other teams happy. The numbers game is not going to stack up for John Harbaugh to keep all these guys. That is a good problem to have.

There are as many as five running backs, seven tight ends and nine wide receivers that could make this team. Obviously, there is no way the Ravens can keep all of them. Let’s make a few predictions on who makes the final 53-man roster.

Note: We will give a final roster prediction after the third and final preseason game.
