Wide Receivers: Overall Grade C

I am going to grade the wide receivers individually because it is the fairest way to do it. It’s hard to compare the contributions that Steve Smith Sr. made with that of Chris Moore. The Ravens wide receiver position looks like the thinnest position on the roster.

Steve Smith Sr.: A

Smith Sr. was without a doubt the leader of the group. The Ravens veteran receiver showed why he is a legend of the game. In his last season, he put up 70 receptions for 799 yards and five touchdowns. He was the heart and soul of the Ravens offense.

Mike Wallace: A

Wallace outproduced his expectations. Wallace had 39 receptions last year with the Vikings. He had 72 receptions for over 1,000 yards and four touchdowns. Wallace and Smith Sr. were easily the two most dependable wide receivers. Wallace was a big time play-maker this season.

Breshad Perriman: C

Perriman had some really good moments in this season. Overall though, he struggled. Perriman needs to get better at running routes and work on dropping less passes. Perriman ended up with 33 receptions, 499 yards and three touchdowns.

Kamar Aiken: C-

Where did Kamar Aiken go? He went from 75 receptions in 2015 to 29. Aiken seemed to vanish. It looked like he could go into the season as one of Joe Flacco’s go to guys, but he didn’t make much of an impact.

Chris Moore D

As a special teams player Chris Moore gets an A. As a receiver he needs some work. Moore had seven receptions for 46 yards. Moore has speed and potential moving forward. He will always have a roster spot with his great special teams ability.
