The Baltimore Ravens have worked hard to revamp their wide receiver corps over the last three years. Thanks to a combination of drafting plenty of talent at the position and adding in key free agents, the Ravens finally have a formidable group of pass catchers for quarterback Lamar Jackson. But with the 2020 NFL Draft being historically deep at the position, Baltimore likely isn’t done stacking talent at wide receiver.
There are plenty of options all over the 2020 NFL Draft. Whether the Ravens want to add a playmaker with their first-round pick or grab someone for a niche role later in the draft, Baltimore is going to have someone available every round.
Let’s take a look at the top wide receivers the Ravens could target in the 2020 NFL Draft.
WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama
Jeudy has been considered one of the top wide receivers in his class for a long time. The 6-foot-1 receiver accumulated over 2,700 receiving yards and scored 26 touchdown catches in his time as a member of the Crimson Tide, distinguishing himself as the next great Alabama receiver.
Jeudy would be a dynamic piece in the Ravens offense. He has long arms, a good catch radius, is dynamic with the ball, and is a solid run blocker. Jeudy comes into the 2020 NFL Draft with a ton of polish already, especially as a route runner and he’d be an immediate starter in Baltimore’s offense.
Another big plus is Jeudy grew up in the same hometown as current Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and wide receiver Marquise Brown. He was recently working out with the pair this offseason, which means they already have a little rapport going.
The problem is Jeudy is expected to be gone well before Baltimore gets on the clock at No. 28. That means they’d have to trade up to get him, which would cost a fortune.
