Ravens’ biggest needs before NFL free agency begins

Baltimore has had to structure their wide receiver corps for multiple years in a row. From Jeremy Maclin and Mike Wallace to Michael Crabtree and John Brown, there has been little consistency in the wide receiver room over the last few seasons. While the Ravens have done a much better job of drafting at the position last year, there are going to be some more additions this offseason as well to help round out the group.

Baltimore was able to pick their speedster of the future in Marquise Brown in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. They also drafted Miles Boykin and have Willie Snead as a veteran presence. However, it’s safe to question if the team will bring back Chris Moore and Seth Roberts and if they’ll allow for such a long leash on Jaleel Scott.

Assuming the trio of Moore, Roberts and Scott won’t return in 2020, there are three spots that need to be filled. The Ravens can look to free agency and sign a player like Amari Cooper, Emmanuel Sanders, or Robbie Anderson. They could also wait until the draft and select talent in an insanely deep class that includes Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Henry Ruggs as early-round options while also having Justin Jefferson, Denzel Mims, Brandon Aiyuk, and Tee Higgins among the deep draft class.

There is no shortage of wide receiver talent available for Baltimore to bring in. They also have a good foundation with Brown, Boykin and Snead. If Eric DeCosta can hit it out of the park this offseason, the Ravens might not have to reshape their wide receiver room for a long time.
