“Nate Wiggins looked the part at times last year. Veterans Jaire Alexander and Chidobe Awuzie will need to provide the depth the Ravens didn't have last season.

Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine identified the Ravens' secondary as the team's biggest weakness despite acknowledging it has stars.

“Kyle Hamilton is an All-Pro and probably hasn't even reached his peak. Marlon Humphrey earned All-Pro honors last season and snagged a career-high six interceptions. Unfortunately, the answers outside of that duo are a little less defined.”
