Offensive Overview: The Anquan Boldin trade will have less of an impact than popular opinion insists. A mid-range to low-end NFL No. 2 receiver, Boldin has only seven touchdowns over his last 33 regular season games and does not separate from coverage. Playoff stardom understood, Boldin actually had an inhibiting effect on Baltimore's pass game at times over the past three years. The Ravens will lean more on Smith and Pitta, and 2012 sixth-round receiver Tommy Streeter could add a new dimension. Streeter runs 4.34-4.40 at 6-foot-5, 220. Oher is listed at left tackle, but he'll go back to the right when Bryant McKinnie returns on an incentive-laden deal. Osemele looks like a future All-Pro left guard. Ultimately, Baltimore is banking on Flacco, Rice, Bernard Pierce, Smith, Pitta, and Jim Caldwell to carry its offense into the future.

Defensive Overview: Talking heads overrate Baltimore's offseason losses because the Super Bowl champs are in the spotlight. But GM Ozzie Newsome is used to replacing from within. Since the compensatory process began in 1994 – Newsome took over in '96 -- no team in football has received more compensatory picks than the Ravens, which is because no team has "lost" more free agents. A healthy Suggs and Webb will go a long way toward solidifying the pass defense, and Ngata will play more nose with Canty, Jones, Marcus Spears, and Pernell McPhee rotating on the ends. Pairing Suggs with free-agent steal Dumervil gives Baltimore the NFL's premier edge-rushing tandem. They'll work in a three-way rotation with 2012 second-rounder Courtney Upshaw, terrifying offenses. Though never an elite tackler, Huff is one of the league's best center-field cover safeties. Talking heads also fail to mention the 2012 Ravens finished a middling 17th in total defense. With Dumervil aboard and 12 draft picks at Newsome’s disposal, there's every reason to believe they'll be better in 2013.
