Ravens receive solid offseason grade but trail Browns in rankings

The Baltimore Ravens earned a grade of B in ESPN's offseason report card released on June 30, 2026. While the Ravens' front office is praised for its discipline, they are ranked lower than their AFC North rival, the Cleveland Browns, who received a higher score. Analyst Seth Walder highlighted Baltimore's strategic moves, including the appointment of Jesse Minter as head coach and the reunion with Calais Campbell to bolster their defensive line. The Ravens did not match a large contract for Tyler Linderbaum, which Walder deemed reasonable. Analysts continue to view Baltimore as a strong contender in the AFC despite the offseason grades, indicating that their focus is on building a competitive team for January, rather than June.
