2023 NFL Power Rankings: Baltimore Ravens

Throughout the 2023 NFL season, we will compile a consensus NFL Power Rankings that averages the rankings of all 32 NFL teams.

Below you will find a Week 3 roundup for the Baltimore Ravens in our consensus 2023 NFL Power Rankings.

ESPN -- Rank: 6

Player: LB Patrick Queen
Current contract situation: Under contract through the 2023 season

Queen is in the final year of his rookie deal ($2.268 million) and is scheduled to become a free agent in March after Baltimore declined his fifth-year option. He knows this season is essentially an audition for the other 31 teams in the league. His long-term future in Baltimore likely ended last year, when the Ravens traded for Roquan Smith and then made him the highest-paid middle linebacker. Early in his career, Queen struggled in coverage and missed tackles. Now, playing alongside Smith, Queen has become an all-around playmaker. Since 2020, Queen is one of three players to record more than 300 tackles, double-digit sacks and multiple interceptions. The others: Smith and Bobby Wagner. -- Jamison Hensley

NFL.com -- Rank: 7

The Ravens' defense came up with timely stops in Week 2, and extra credit goes to an undermanned cornerback group that held up extremely well against the Bengals' skill-position talent. It really was encouraging that the new offense found a way to finish off a big game with some old-school Ravens power. Todd Monken's attack fed multiple mouths, with nine players receiving three or more touches, and Baltimore's heavy sets ground down the Bengals' front. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Running the ball as well as the Ravens did without J.K. Dobbins sent a clear message to the rest of the AFC: They're not stopping Baltimore's ground game anytime soon.

2023 NFL Predictions: AFC North

Before the start of the season, we will post NFL division-by-division predictions for the 2023 NFL regular season and postseason.

Instead of projecting an outright winner and loser in all 272 regular-season games, we've assigned a win probability to each team in every game and totaled them up.

The four AFC North teams are projected to win more games combined than the four teams in any other division in our full-season projections.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Lamar Jackson	512.1	326.5	3748.6	27.65	11.52	116.2	685.6	5.23	337.44
Tyler Huntley	56.9	37.3	344.2	1.76	1.39	20.7	93.2	0.62	31.07

Lamar Jackson: There is only one quarterback in NFL history with 25-plus passing touchdowns and 1,000-plus rushing yards in the same season, and that quarterback (Jackson) has done it twice. Of course, the biggest concern with Jackson is durability and the fact that he has missed five games in each of the past two seasons. With the Ravens bolstering their receiving corps by signing Odell Beckham Jr. and drafting Zay Flowers in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft and hiring Todd Monken to run the offense, the dual-threat quarterback has legitimate QB1 (overall) upside if he's able to stay healthy for a full season.

Baltimore Ravens Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, we will update our Baltimore Ravens Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Baltimore Ravens from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Baltimore Ravens:

EDSFootball - Kevin Hanson (5/9)

26. Maason Smith, IDL, LSU

Smith missed nearly all of 2022 with a torn ACL, and he missed three games as a true freshman as well. When healthy, the former five-star recruit is an athletic freak (12th on Bruce Feldman's 2022 College Football Freaks' List). As a freshman, he had five TFLs and four sacks in nine games.

CBS Sports - Josh Edwards (5/8)

25. Bralen Trice, EDGE, Washington

The Ravens have added a few pass rushers over the past two years but they have left a lot to be desired. They take another swing in an effort to correct the position.

ESPN - Todd McShay (5/4)

24. Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State

A transfer from Maryland, Robinson had a good 2022 season despite no sack production. He didn't start a game for the Nittany Lions but still accumulated 13.5 tackles for loss and 26 pressures. Baltimore needs more playmaking pass-rushers, and Robinson could be a good fit. But I also think the Ravens could consider cornerbacks or defensive tackles if those holes go unfixed by next April.
