2. Inside Linebacker

Zach Orr’s coming out party this past season made everyone think that the Baltimore Ravens were set in the inside linebacker position for a long time to come. Orr played excellently and lead the team in tackles, proving to be an excellent complement to C.J. Mosley.

But then, Orr surprisingly announced his retirement from the NFL due to a serious neck injury, and now the Ravens are left with a huge hole in the middle of the field.

What’s worse is, there’s really no obvious replacement for Orr. Perhaps the team’s second-round pick last year, Kamalei Correa, who showed some good flashes this year, but he’s far from being the linebacker Orr was.

There’s a lot of good linebackers in this year’s draft, so the team could address this need there, but it has to be addressed somewhere, or else the Ravens are going to lose that excellent defense they had last season.
