ough. Justin Bannan will find some playing time after those three.

LB Ray Lewis
LB Bart Scott
LB Antwan Barnes
LB/DE Gary Stills
LB Nick Griesen
LB Tavares Gooden
LB Brendon Ayanbedejo
LB/DE Dan Cody
LB Prescott Burgess

Ray Lewis is Ray Lewis, I don't care how many years he plays! Bart Scott didn't have a great year in 2007, but is still a pretty good LB. The big battle in camp this year will probably be for the other Linebacker spot(s). Antwan Barnes needs to show improvement from his rookie season and will be challenged by rookie Tavares Gooden as well as vets, Nick Griesen and Gary Stills, for playing time. Dan Cody will have to prove he can stay healthy as it will be a free for all for the final roster spot here with Cody battling second year player Prescott Burgess, veteran, Brandon Ayanbedejo,Linebacker/D-line, Edgar Jones,Robert McCune, and rookie free agent Linebacker Jameel McClain to see who will make the final cut.

CB Chris McAlister
CB Samari Rolle
CB Cory Ivy
CB Fabian Washington
CB Derrick Martin

Chris McAlister will still be one of the best corners in the league. Samari Rolle is also still pretty good but could be challenged by Ivy, Washington, or even Martin for the other starting corner. This should be an interesting camp for the Ravens to say the least.

S Ed Reed
S Dawan Landry
DB Ronnie Prude
S (R)Tom Zbikowski

Reed will once again dominate at one safety with Dawan Landry starting on the other side. The battle here will be who makes the team and who gets playing time out of veteran, Ronnie Prude, and rookies, Tom Zbikowski and Haruki Nakamura.

P Sam Koch

Fantasy picks: RB Willis McGahee,WR Derrick Mason,RB Ray Rice,TE Todd Heap. McGahee will again be a first or second round pick, and should have a good season. Mason should be gone around the middle to latter part of the draft, at which point some consideration should be considered for rookie RB Ray Rice. TE Todd Heap is a nice pickup late, just don't overreach as his health is still a question.
