In January, I used President Donald Trump's campaign line "Make America Great Again" in a tongue-and-cheek way to push for the Ravens to do the unthinkable and bring back Rex Ryan as their defensive coordinator to make the Ravens great again.
The essence of the column was that the Ravens needed to go all-in on building a great defense, in large part because of the deficiencies and limitations of their long-time quarterback, Joe Flacco.
Little did I think the Ravens would agree with my basic observations about the capabilities of their $24.5 million man (the size of Flacco's cap hit this year). During the 2017 NFL Draft, the Ravens failed to add a single offensive player capable of developing into a playmaker.
