The Baltimore Ravens need to make the 2017 NFL Draft, one to remember by drafting Corey Davis.

Corey Davis is one of the most explosive play-makers in the 2017 NFL Draft class. The Western Michigan star is one of the most exciting wide receiver prospects in some time. If he falls to the 16th pick it is an obvious choice for the Baltimore Ravens. The promise of Davis is something that Ozzie Newsome would even be justified trading up for.

The Ravens have not had much success drafting wide receivers. It goes back to their early selection of Travis Taylor in the 2000 NFL Draft. Taylor was supposed to be a big time play-maker. He ended up being a solid contributor but he was not the superstar the Ravens wanted. Since then, the Ravens have missed on guys like Mark Clayton, Tandon Doss, Yamon Figurs and Demetrius Williams.

The Ravens need to get a young wide receiver. There is nothing wrong with signing a veteran like Pierre Garcon. Even if the Ravens intend to draft Davis, that is still a viable free agency option. It would just be nice to get Flacco a young super star for once.
