News flash: The Baltimore Ravens are in need of a wide receiver. Thankfully, there a quite a few options in every round of the 2019 NFL Draft to fancy.

The bulk of the 2019 NFL Draft process is set to go underway here shortly, as the NFL Combine is right around the corner. From there, we have tons of Pro Days and private workouts to sort through. Free Agency starts and trades become official in March, the league new year, and the league is bound to get shaken up big-time by a deep Free Agency pool on defense.

The Baltimore Ravens should be a very active team this off-season, but one thing remains crystal: The need for a wide receiver has never been greater than now, and there’s no better time to add talent than this off-season. The 2019 NFL Draft in particular has plenty of awesome receivers.

The 2019 NFL Draft has some crafty wide receivers like D.K. Metcalf, Marquise Brown, and N’Keal Harry, but also maintains solid depth in the later rounds as well. For the Ravens, the team went all-in during the 2018 Free Agency period by signing John Brown, Michael Crabtree, and Willie Snead, but the team failed to add any guys from 2018 NFL Draft’s wide receiver group. The Ravens could’ve selected play-makers like Calvin Ridley or D.J. Moore, but instead passed on them.

Baltimore cannot afford to make the same mistakes again in 2019, not if they plan to build around Lamar Jackson. The team successfully added an influx of talent at the tight end position and shored up the right side of the offensive line with the addition of Orlando Brown Jr., but the Ravens still need young player at receiver for Jackson to truly shine and flourish.

In the 2019 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens can go a variety of routes for adding talent to an already solid roster, which could leave wide receiver as a second-or-third option. That’s OK, because this year’s group is deep, which is precisely why we’re about to dive in and take a look at all the wide receiver pool in each round of this upcoming draft. Let’s kick things off with round one and my personal favorite wide receiver…
