3. Wide Receivers:

The Ravens probably can’t expect Miles Boykin to go from 13 receptions in his rookie year to being a good number two receiver in his second season. The Ravens can’t go into the next season expecting Seth Roberts to get much done for them. The Ravens can’t go into next season waiting for Chris Moore to show his worth to the offense. The bottom line is that the Ravens can’t go into next season without completely rebuilding the receiving corps around Marquise Brown. Brown is a star in the making. Brown’s 126 yard performance in the playoffs showed Baltimore that how exciting of a player he can be. If the Ravens don’t add weapons at the receiver position, they will just be wasting Brown’s special skill-set.

The Ravens got away from what their game against the Tennessee Titans. The Ravens spread things out and had Lamar Jackson drop back to pass over 70 times. The playoff loss showed how lacking the receiving talent was for the purple and black. When the Ravens can’t lean on three tight ends and a great running game, they need more help at the wide receiver position. They have one star at the position. The receiving room as a whole is rather below average. Lamar Jackson proved that he was a good passer this season. Jackson wasn’t the reason the offense was limited when Greg Roman got away from the bread and butter of his play-calling.

Jackson led the league in touchdown passes with a group of pass catchers that most quarterbacks couldn’t have done that with. Jackson’s ability to throw from in and outside of the pocket is the reason the Ravens must invest in the passing game. If Jackson can have a monster season with the current talent on this roster, just imagine what he can do with a legitimate group of receivers.
