Wide receiver
Current roster: Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin, Willie Snead IV, Jaleel Scott, De’Anthony Thomas, Antoine Wesley, Sean Modster
With seven players already on the roster, it’s easy to think the Ravens are pretty set at wide receiver. But only Brown, Boykin and Snead should be considered locks to make the 53-man roster. The rest are either practice squad players or, in the case of Thomas and Scott, will be competing to win one of the final roster spots.
Coach John Harbaugh has already said the team is looking for two types of wide receivers this offseason, so we know they likely plan on adding at least two more guys to the depth chart. Given how they’ve handled the position over the last three years, that likely means a deep speed option and a possession receiver to round out the unit.
The Ravens don’t necessarily need immediate starters here but they’ve also neglected the position until the last two years, so don’t be shocked if they aim for the fences either. With Lamar Jackson winning the MVP award last season and there being a desire to surround him with upper-tier talent, I’d expect at least one of the wide receivers to be a young and impressive target. Beyond that, the Ravens’ return specialist job is far from locked up. Finding a player or two who can compete for the job is undoubtedly on Baltimore’s radar as well.
