Why He Is Perfect For The Ravens:

The Baltimore Ravens need all the play-makers they can get. Marty Mornhinweg coming back doesn’t fill Baltimore with resounding hope. Newsome needs to give the Ravens so much talent that Mornhinweg can’t fail. If the Ravens drafted Davis they could have an incredible collection of speed at the wide receiver position.

Davis would come in right away and be the number one weapon for Joe Flacco. Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman would then give the Ravens three burners. If Chris Moore comes along that is four speed demons that the Ravens can stretch the field with.

Davis is more than a deep threat though. Davis is a guy who can run every route. This player is NFL ready. Western Michigan may not play against top level competition but Davis is playing at an advanced level. The Ravens would be getting a receiver who understands the nuances of the craft. There is a very high floor for a guy like Davis. With the size, speed and hands that he has it is hard to fail.
