WR Miles Boykin
Entering this offseason, the Ravens needed another field-stretching pass catcher and an outside possession receiver. Baltimore added two more wide receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft, giving them an intriguing group of young players, but no one that excels outside. Devin Duvernay and James Proche fit in far better in the slot, where Baltimore is already fairly stacked. With Seth Roberts leaving in free agency, it only makes the depth chart on the outside shallower and points to Boykin being the Ravens’ starting answer there.
That’s a big role in the Ravens’ offense, even if it doesn’t necessarily provide a spectacular stat sheet. Boykin will have an opportunity to keep Baltimore’s offense humming through downfield blocking while being a reliable target and chain mover for Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens really don’t have any other options, which means Boykin will have to produce in this role. If he does, he could be primed for a breakout season opposite Marquise Brown. If he doesn’t, Baltimore will struggle to consistently run outside and convert on third downs, which could kill what could be a dangerous Ravens’ offense.
