Wide Receiver:

This, of course, shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, as the Baltimore Ravens once again should be looking to improve at wide receiver. Michael Crabtree was cut and John Brown just left via Free Agency, leaving Baltimore dangerous thin at the position. Willie Snead and Chris Moore are the top-two guys on the depth chart right now, with second year receivers Jordan Lasley and Jaleel Scott behind them.

Snead was solid in his first year as in Baltimore. He and Jackson developed some nice chemistry down stretch last season and should be able to build off that. Moore has made a few splash plays throughout his three seasons in Baltimore. We’ll see if more opportunity will give him a chance to shine. As rookies, Lasley didn’t appear in one game and Scott was on Injured Reserve the whole season. They could battle each other this preseason for a roster spot.

The Ravens have a history of bringing in veteran free agent wide receivers so that can be on the table, but there isn’t much free agent talent for receivers currently. If they truly want to add some real juice to the position, the Ravens should target the NFL Draft to do so.

Prospects like Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry, NC State’s Kelvin Harmon, South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel, Ohio State’s Parris Campbell, and Ole Miss’ A.J. Brown would all be welcomed additions to the Ravens receiving core. Late first round to mid-second round is the sweet spot for wide receivers this year, and Baltimore should take their shot at one. As we get closer to the 2019 NFL Draft in April, we’ll get a better idea who is on the Ravens’ radar.
