9. Brandon Lafell:

The Ravens have a knack for finding veteran receivers in free agency. Brando Lafell is a solid receiver who would add some experience to the Ravens mostly young group of receivers. Lafell is coming off the second best season of his career. In 2016 he had 64 receptions for 862 yards and six touchdowns.

Lafell may not be a star but he is a strong contributor. It is important to note that the receiver position is the Ravens thinnest position. This is a reasonably priced receiver who can help the team. The Ravens should be quite familiar with Lafell, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals this past season. He spent the two previous seasons in New England. In 2014, he had 74 receptions for 953 yards and seven touchdowns.

This move would not have people jumping up and down, but it would clearly be beneficial. Mike Wallace is the most productive receiver the purple and black have remaining and he only scored four touchdowns in 2016. The Ravens need receivers and Lafell is a real option.
