The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for a critical offseason, with safety emerging as a crucial area for improvement. Despite having standout Kyle Hamilton and promising young player Ar'Darius Washington, depth at the safety position is sorely lacking. Marcus Williams is expected to be released after being benched for a significant portion of last season, while rookies Sanoussi Kane and Beau Brade are still developing. Analysts project the Ravens will target Georgia safety Malaki Starks in the upcoming NFL Draft, a versatile player known for his strong ball skills and potential to complement Hamilton in the secondary.

Last season, Baltimore's secondary struggled with big plays, surrendering the third-most completions of 20-plus yards in the league. Yates highlights Starks' impressive college stats, including six career interceptions, positioning him as a valuable asset for the Ravens’ defense. As they look to refine their roster, Baltimore's decisions in the draft will significantly impact their defensive strategy moving forward.
