Ravens depth chart: 3 veterans on the roster bubble

No. 1: Ravens Wide Receiver Chris Moore

Baltimore’s heavy reliance on tight ends in the passing game last year meant, outside of then-rookie Marquise Brown, the Ravens’ wide receiver corps didn’t exactly have much of a chance to flash what it could provide on a regular basis.

General manager Eric DeCosta attempted to shake that up during the draft, bringing aboard Texas wideout Devin Duvernay in Round 3 and then James Proche out of SMU in Round 6. Almost by default, Duvernay is going to be slated ahead of fifth-year wide receiver Chris Moore, who stuck around on a one-year contract worth up to $1.05 million.

While the back end of the Ravens depth chart at the position seems to be wide open, Moore’s prowess at the pro level has been almost entirely on special teams, particularly last year when he saw just five targets thrown his way.

True, Moore has been great on special teams, and he does offer some versatility in the return game. But that’s where a player like Proche comes into focus, potentially securing Moore’s spot on special teams and probably overstepping Moore on the wide receiver depth chart, too.

For Moore to hang around, he’ll have to have the training camp of camps, showcasing his value as both an offensive weapon and viable special teams ace.
