5 things Baltimore Ravens got right with 53 man roster

After months of predictions, the 53 man roster is here. Let’s take a look at 5 things the Ravens did right:

5. Picking the right receivers

The Baltimore Ravens got it right at the wide receiver position. They kept the players that added the most value to the team. The Ravens needed a punt returner, so they kept Janarion Grant. The Ravens need a receiver to develop for the future, and so they kept Jordan Lasley. The Ravens top four wide receivers are going to do most of the work.

The Ravens built the receiving group back up from nothing, and their investments will take center stage. The Ravens couldn’t just lean on four receivers to do all the work. They need special teams players, and extra weapons in the passing game.

Lasley, who is the receiver who needs on the job training, has more potential than any young receiver the Ravens have had in a while. Lasley runs good routes, if he becomes a dependable catcher of the football, the Ravens could have a budding star. There was no way that the Ravens could keep Lasley on the practice squad; he would have been swooped up as fast as you can say UCLA. The Ravens picked the right players at wide receiver.

The Ravens finally gave up on the Breshad Perriman experiment. It was just time for the Ravens to say goodbye, admit their mistake and move on. Whatever you think about Grant and Lasley, the Ravens six wide receivers mark the most improved position on the roster this season.
