Now, with the 2026 season fast approaching next month, position groups will be finalized across training camp and preseason action over the next few weeks. Which of the team’s position groups are the strongest? Let’s rank them below in terms of best on the roster, from best to worst. 1. Safety When combining star power and depth, the Ravens have one of, if not the best safety room of any team in the league. Kyle Hamilton is established as a premier talent, while Malaki Starks proved to be a solid pro as a rookie and has the potential for a sophomore leap. Jaylinn Hawkins, who the team signed this offseason, is coming off a strong season as a defensive leader for the AFC Champion New England Patriots. Hawkins gives the Ravens a trio of above-average safeties and lots of flexibility in the secondary. 2. Quarterback Lamar Jackson remains an elite quarterback with a great chance to return to his MVP-caliber ways after an injury-riddled 2025 campaign. Jackson could thrive in Declan Doyle’s new-look offensive system with some new playmakers around him. Tyler Huntley is the ideal backup for Jackson with a proven track record of winning games as a spot-starter. Huntley quickly proved last year that he was a better No. 2 option than Cooper Rush. 3. Running Back Derrick Henry continues to defeat father time and church out elite seasons. Henry should be super productive again as the workhorse in the Ravens’ backfield. Justice Hill remains a solid backup and third down running back but could be pushed by either Rasheen Ali or Adam Randall for playing time. Randall, a fifth-round pick this year, is a sleeper to emerge as a contributor given his versatility and pass-catching prowess. The Clemson product could beat usurp Ali for the No. 3 role to begin the season and have a role on special teams. 4. Cornerback The Ravens’ cornerback room underwhelmed in 2025 given the on-paper talent. The prospects for positive regression in 2026, though, are good. Marlon Humphrey’s ability to rebound from a subpar season will be a major X-factor. Nate Wiggins didn’t make a huge Year 2 jump like many anticipated last season, but is still a proven talented coverage corner and possesses high-level upside. Chidobe Awuzie is a solid veteran and reliable starter. The Ravens have several young cornerbacks competing for the last two spots on the depth chart. 5. Defensive Line The return of Nnamdi Madbuike is a major lift for the Ravens’ defensive line. If he can perform anywhere close to his previous All-Pro level, the Ravens have a more
