Anquan Boldin Is Still An Option

There is still the possibility of a reunion between Anquan Boldin and the Ravens. Harbaugh said the decision is ultimately up to general manager Ozzie Newsome, but “he’d obviously like to have [Boldin] back.” Bringing back Boldin would be a smart move, there is no doubt about it. Even at the age of 36, he proved that he can still play in the NFL. He still has not found a home yet, which makes the move even more possible.

The only issue I see with this that the Ravens might shy away from drafting a receiver in the first round. There are franchise receivers in this draft in Mike Williams and Corey Davis. It is very possible one of those two could fall to the #16 spot. Adding Boldin might make the Ravens too comfortable at the wide receiver for next season. He is a good option, but he is only a realistic threat for 1-2 more years.
