The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of needs to address this offseason and wide receiver is one of them. The Ravens still have Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers, but they need to add a third name to give them a truly threatening trio for Lamar Jackson to throw to.
Nick Shook of NFL.com thinks he has the perfect solution for the Ravens at the position, stating that he thinks Stefon Diggs could be a fit for Baltimore.
"If he doesn't consider returning to New England, it would make plenty of sense for Diggs to become the latest household name to latch on with Lamar Jackson and Co. in pursuit of a ring. He'll bring the fresh experience of reaching the Super Bowl, a roaring competitive fire and the skills -- which he proved he still has -- to become a dependable target for Jackson in a corps that could use him opposite Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman."
Baltimore Ravens could take a calculated risk with Stefon Diggs
Diggs had a nice year with the Patriots on the field, tallying over 1,000 yards receiving and finding the end zone four times for the AFC champs. The problem with Diggs, however, is that he's had enough off-the-field issues that it's risky to take a chance on him.
Shook also pointed out how DeAndre Hopkins' lackluster year with the Ravens could scare the team away from signing another vet at the position. He touched on that more in his write-up.
"Skeptics might point to DeAndre Hopkins' Baltimore experience as a reason the Ravens shouldn't target yet another veteran at the position, but Hopkins wasn't responsible for his decreased usage amid a trying season for the Ravens, and that certainly shouldn't preclude GM Eric DeCosta from attempting to bolster the position. Diggs could help Baltimore's younger receiving corps much like he did in New England and make some big plays for Jackson, who should always be supplied with talented pass catchers."
Position-wise, Diggs could make sense for the Ravens. He's a productive player that can make big plays and help his quarterback out. The drama he brings with him, both on and off the field, however, might simply not be worth it for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
The Ravens should look to find that third wide receiver in the draft rather than taking a flier on someone like Diggs.
