Mike Preston writes that the Ravens need to draft a running back who can catch passes out of the backfield like Ray Rice.

If the grass looks greener to fans at M&T Bank Stadium when the Ravens season opens Sunday, it's not just because the artificial turf has been replaced with more than 50,000 square feet of pristine, natural grass. Eight months after a losing season marked by injuries to key stars and conspicuously empty purple seats, the new playing field offers an apt metaphor for a fan base with a fresh outlook based partly on the team's history of rebounding from disappointment.

To make up ground in the AFC North as well as the conference, the Ravens need to have a quality draft because they might not have enough salary cap room to bring in high-profile free agents. The team's draft record has been disappointing since the late 2000s when the Ravens selected players who made an immediate impact, like guards Ben Grubbs and Marshal Yanda in 2007 and quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice in 2008.
