Regrettably, the Baltimore Ravens defense was regarded as among the finest in the NFL during the 2023 campaign, which also happens to be the season when some of their star defenders become free agents. DT Justin Madubuike, who had a spectacular year in his contract year, is one of the breakout players.
Madubuike is expected to be among the market’s most sought-after free agents. Based on cap space and team needs, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine created a mock free agency draft in which he predicted the Houston Texans would be the team to steal the standout DT.
Signing Justin Madubuike in this round would give [DeMeco] Ryans his Armstead in Houston, according to Ballentine’s writing. Although the 6’3′′, 305-pound defender isn’t exactly like Armstead, he can apply pressure on the inside just as well.
“The Texans’ 2023 draft class has transformed them from an also-ran that was changing head coaches every year to a really scary rising team with DeMeco Ryans at the helm,” Ballentine explained.
