I think we've gotten much better

The coaching staff looks to improved
Davison, Rankins, Bell, Crawley, Harris, Onyemata should improve with another year under their belt.

Getting PJW, Breaux, Kikaha, Sanford, Webb and Swann back from IR throws a lot of talent into the mix. And we likely re-sign Kyle Wilson, Kruger, Mauti, Moore among others

And with the additions of Okafor and Klein our front 7 looks better, and free-agency isn't over yet.

And this is all before we even draft in a freakishly deep defensive draft with 4 picks in the 1st 3 rounds.

No, we aren't exactly the 2000 Ravens, but its looking up.

What would it take to be the 2000 Ravens?

First we'd have to get Bellick out of the broadcast booth and back onto the field. That would be an amazingly great thing for football fans everywhere, but not so great for the Whodat nation....
