Wide Receivers:

  • Michael Crabtree
  • Willie Snead
  • John Brown
  • Chris Moore
  • Jaleel Scott
  • Jordan Lasley

The Ravens have a wide receiver in Michael Crabtree that they know they can count on. The idea that the Raiders would say goodbye to him in the first place is absolutely mind boggling. Crabtree is a touchdown scoring wide receiver that still has plenty of football left in the tank.

The Ravens drafted two wide receivers and it is a safe bet that they make the 53 man roster. Ozzie Newsome may struggle to find receivers but he has a track record of finding talent in the fourth and fifth rounds. It would be nice if one of these players ended up being a diamond in the rough. John Habaugh is going to give them every chance to be just that.

Keeping the two rookies leaves the Ravens with six wide receivers in this projection. This leaves Tim White off the team and more notably means the end of Breshad Perriman with the purple and black.

Tight Ends:

  • Hayden Hurst
  • Mark Andrews
  • Nick Boyle

The Ravens drafted two tight ends which kind of tells you what they thought about their tight end situation going into the draft. Hayden Hurst was a first round pick. Expect him to be a big part of the offense. Mark Andrews was a third round pick and Baltimore wants to see the pick pay off. Boyle stays in the group because he is a capable blocker. Maxx Williams should be out. Putting him on the field would just be taking chances away from the two tight ends the Ravens drafted.
