It becomes clear now after the draft what they planned on offense. They addressed the offensive line in the FA (last and this year). They drafted a couple of guys last year, too. So in two years, they re-made the entire line. Now they get their perceived multi-threat running backs in place, and thus complete the base offense Marv and Dick wanted in the first place.
They got some badly needed improvement from Losman last year. So if everything proceeds as they planned, Losman and Evans will provide the fireworks for this offense.
In essence, they can now conduct steady running attack. By that I include short tosses from Losman to his backs which means from the base set they can do a variety of things. The thing is, with Lynch, these running attacks are not merely a 3 yarder or 5 yarder variety, but a realistic threat of going to the house on every one of them. At the same time, with Evans/Parrish on the field, the defensive backs have to stay back to watch for deep balls.
I want to mention that prior to his injury, McGahee was viewed as a back that can take it to the house every time he touches the ball. From what I've seen, in NFL, he became more of a pounder. He is never viewed as a good route runner, though he does catch the ball well. I think those (and the contract issue) were the main reasons that the Bills were willing to part with him and truth be told, Willis is a good fit for the Ravens for what they want to do.
