Let me revive this thread by quoting @Ravensfan23:
"So today is both the last game of the season and the first few hours of the offseason for the Ravens. Going into 2017 I think there are a lot of positives but also so major changes that will be made. I'll focus on some of the really good positives I think the Ravens have moving forward.
1. The Rookie class of 2016. I think the Ravens had a great draft in 2016 and could be even better next year if a couple other guys develop. Stanley is a stud. I think we can put to bed the notion that the Ravens missed on Tunsil. Whether the video led to passing on him, Stanley was the right pick. Dixon will have a Ray Rice impact to this offense moving forward imo. That guy is a beast and should be a exciting piece for whoever is the OC. Young gave me a Lardarius Webb feel in his rookie year. Not the biggest guy but could have lockdown potential with a little better technique. Lewis played really well at LG and I think he and Stanley will make a really strong pair.
2. The RBs. I know the running game has been in question all year, but I think we got a really good impression of what these young guys can do. Dixon, West and Juice should have any OC smiling ear to ear at the possibilities of this offense. I think we saw in preseason how dominant this run game could be and most of us envisioned a offense that would feature it much more. The Steelers were a good defense and they ran over them at will.
3. I think the oline is a positive moving forward. Stanley, Lewis, Yanda and Wagner should all return to starting roles and if they can upgrade the center position I think the oline will be a strength moving forward.
4. I think the Ravens might have one of the best ILB tandems in the NFL. Outside of Weddle, Orr was the biggest Pro Bowl snub for the Ravens imo. I really like CJ and Orr. It'll also be interesting to see how the Ravens plan to use KC next year but unless Orr just rest on his great season and doesn't work hard to get better during the offseason, I think this tandem will be great in 2017.
5. I think the defense is in good hands with Weddle as the leader. But more speed has to be added to that side of the ball. A month ago I would have included the run defense as a strength moving forward but the better rushing teams like Mia, NE, Dal and Pit were able to run at will on this defense. I still view the defense as a strength just needs some tweaking and a overall view of how good they actually are. They focused on getting more sacks a couple years ago and the sack total increased. They focused on getting more turnovers this year and they did. I guess next year they should focus on closing out games better."
