Bandwagon is getting started.

Some of the media is waking up...they finally noticed who the Ravens picked up after noticing only the losses.

 

From SI....

 

 

Baltimore Ravens

Key moves:

Additions:
Signed OLB Elvis Dumervil, DE Chris Canty, S Michael Huff, DT Michael Spears; drafted LB Arthur Brown, S Matt Elam

Subtractions:
LB Ray Lewis, WR Anquan Boldin, S Ed Reed, S Bernard Pollard, OLB Paul Kruger, CB Cary Williams

Where they got better: Rather amazingly, on defense. Or at least the potential is there for this defense to be better — particularly in the front seven — despite those massive losses laid out above. The defensive line should benefit from the steady, veteran presence of Chris Canty at DE and former Cowboy Marcus Spears. Landing Elvis Dumervil looks like one of the huge coups of the offseason, especially since Baltimore can pair him with a healthy Terrell Suggs. The big question mark here is up the middle, where Jameel McClain and rookie Arthur Brown will have to replace Dannell Ellerbe (who signed with the Dolphins) and the legendary Ray Lewis.

Where they got worse: Wide receiver. No real way around it, as the Ravens’ decision to trade Anquan Boldin has left them hoping Jacoby Jones, Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson, David Reed, Aaron Mellette and any other WR darts they decide to throw will land as a reliable No. 2 receiver. Boldin was a huge piece of the Ravens’ Super Bowl run, so even if TEs Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson pick up some slack, replacing Boldin will be difficult. The mountain will be even harder to climb if Torrey Smith can’t handle the No. 1 role or improve on his 49-catch total from last season.

Breakout player: Corey Graham, CB. Running back Bernard Pierce is almost too obvious an answer at this point. Graham, meanwhile, finds himself in a terrific situation as Baltimore’s No. 2 corner, after successfully replacing Lardarius Webb (the team’s No. 1 CB) last season. Graham more than held his own during the regular season and picked off two passes in Baltimore’s playoff win at Denver.

Where they stand: The defending champs traversed a whirlwind offseason and emerged as one of the AFC favorites again. With a shiny new $120 million contract, Joe Flacco will have to prove again that he’s worth those bucks, and the Ravens’ lack of go-to receivers will challenge Flacco in an entirely new way. Baltimore’s defense, despite having all sorts of talent, also has to prove it can thrive without Lewis and Ed Reed, its heart and soul for a decade-plus. A tough schedule and challenging division await, but Baltimore has the pieces necessary to capture a second straight title.

Like I said on ESPN, this team is better than last year's team. Personally, I think it's alot better.

I cannot see any flaws, from the front office to equipment manager.
