3 Plans To Fill The Void At Wide Receiver:
Draft One Of The Big Three:
The other day I wrote a post comparing the big three wide receivers in the draft class. These are the three players that everyone is raving about, the three players that can come in right away and make a huge difference. They are Corey Davis, John Ross and Mike Williams. The Ravens may have to trade up to get one of these players, especially if they want Davis or Williams. If any of the big three receivers are available, the Ravens decision should be easy. They should not pass go, they should not pick up the phone, they should go directly to the game changing receiver.

JuJu Smith-Schuster (USC):
The Ravens can probably target Smith-Schuster in the second round. I love his body control and his knack for making the difficult reception. Smith-Schuster is a quick receiver who is just a flat-out play-maker. While he doesn’t have a first round polish, he has high upside and a big frame.
Chris Godwin (Penn State):
I think Godwin is one of the best players with the football in the air. He does a good job of tracking the football and jumping up and getting it. Godwin was Penn State’s big play machine. He averaged 15.7 yards per reception in his three year career with the Nittany Lions.
