Ben's website makes some quick analysis really easy...let's have a look at the "Roster Needs" page for Baltimore:

GML: Baltimore Ravens 2120

He puts starters in bold if the ratings seem too low for legitimate starters... for us, that's two guys:

G Jackie Fattel - he's just a chem guy for us at this point, we started C Bopsley at LG last year and plan to stick with that

S Dustin Padilla - same story, he's a rotation player, but our S duties include CB Lentzner in a major role, so Padilla isn't on the field a ton

The page is worried that we don't have a mentor for DE "LoadOut" Baump. Minor worry, he should see the field a good deal, but worth a scan in the next stage, methinks.

We have a few items in the "excess talent" column, which just seems like the hallmark of a well-stocked roster. Good there. Depth is not really rewarded in a no-injury league, but rotations can be effective, and depth can definitely help with longer-term roster planning... like the way I'm using CB Wiggins pretty sparingly, but extending him, in hopes that he one day becomes a cohesion and chemistry monster to accompany his decent skills.

While the Ravens are probably not quite a serious contender right now, the two WR are enough to feel like we are working toward that. I heard on a video chat recently that if you have two good wideouts, pretty much any ol' monkey can make a team a winner. Next year could be the one where we step into the offseason feeling like "NOW is the time to make a move and {do something}!"
