With the Ravens getting back to full strength and the draft capital that they currently have I wonder what this matchup will look like. This is going to be one hell of a fight in the AFCN next season. The Steelers are what we know and will reload and the Browns already had a championship infrastructure outside of the sperm whale addition. I know we went to the Superbowl last season but how is this division won with our current roster and whats needed truly. I think we still have some questions to be answered with positional DEPTH really on all levels on both sides. Imo. Thoughts
So goes Joe Burrow and so goes Lamar Jackson. Lamar has been neutralized the last few years as teams are keeping him pinned more. . If the Ravens can’t run the ball with their backs they struggle. The Ravens/Lamar struggle on third and long. Joe Burrow/Bengals have struggled in pass pro and being able to run the ball when they have to. This OL and especially if they add Linderbaum, Zion Johnson, or Kenyon Green could be like the turnaround of the the 2021 defense from 2020. This OL could make Joe Mixon make the NFL say Derrick who? Jonathan Taylor who? A dynamic run game like I envision will help in pass pro, help on third down, and help in the Redzone.
So I think the draft will determine a lot but I see us with a tough battle with the Ravens but edging them out. The Steelers aren’t valid or the Browns as Watson is going to miss a lot of games.
