If Harbaugh is running the army, then general manager Eric DeCosta is providing the ammunition to succeed in battle. Picking up right where Ozzie Newsome left off, DeCosta has not only drafted successfully but also found gems in the dirt, digging in the free-agent market to find suitable talent both complements the team and elevates positions that seem lacking.

He’s also proven even savvier than expected with trades. The Marcus Peters maneuver may go down as one of the best trades in franchise history, let alone for the season. And keeping him in Baltimore on a relatively cheap deal is the icing on the cake.

With Decosta now comfortably in his position, the Ravens are in brilliant hands. You know they’ll fill any holes they have and come back next season even more prepared for a Super Bowl run.
