2021 NFL Draft: 5 receivers Ravens can target after the first round

4. Elijah Moore (Ole Miss)

Elijah Moore is a receiver under six feet tall that plays bigger. He’s a receiver that offers a bit of everything for an offense. He can make a difficult catch in traffic. That combined with his quickness makes him the kind of possession receiver that moves the chains. He’s best as a slot receiver and he’s dangerous when he’s given room to operate.

Moore is a quick receiver who always seems to be in attack mode. Getting the football in his hands is generally a good idea. He’s the kind of player you want to get the football in the open field. Moore had a very strong finish to his collegiate career.

He had 86 receptions for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns. Moore also had 64 yards on 14 rushing attempts. Any way Ole Miss could get him the football, he got the football.

5. Sage Surratt (Wake Forrest)

Sage Surratt is a good player with a high ceiling. Surratt is the one player on this list with a big hulking frame. He’s 6-3 and weighs 213 pounds. Surratt is a tough player who is willing to play his role as a blocker and is fearless when going for a reception.

He’s not quite a burner but it’s not like he makes life easy for defensive backs. Moore is the receiver who will win a lot of one on one battles because he has the natural gifts that help him pull in the football. He’s a solid receiver the Ravens could get in the third round (Or perhaps a bit later).

Surratt didn’t play in his last year at Wake Forest so his second year at Wake Forest was the last we saw of him on the field. The jump in production that Surratt took from his first season to his second season is very notable. He went from 41 receptions and 581 yards in 2018 to 66 receptions for 1,001 yards in 2019.

He went from four touchdowns to 11. He may be a bit raw or at least rusty however he should be a good pick if the Ravens can wait till the third or fourth round for a receiver.
