Taking a trip down memory lane past the Baltimore Ravens‘ headquarters typically brings back pleasant memories. We’re talking everything from Ray Lewis’s ‘squirrel’ dance during pregame introductions and all of those bone-crushing tackles.

Those thoughts of Ed Reed filter in. All of those interceptions… The ‘REEEEED’ chants from the home crowd every time he made a play. Baltimore is known for defense, but dare we say, they’ve had some swagger at wide receiver, too.

May the speedster Jacoby Jones continue to rest in peace. Here’s a shout-out to Derrick Mason, Torrey Smith, and Anquan Boldin, all the way down to current Ravens like Zay Flowers.

Baltimore needs help at the position, though. It may not be as dire a need as the interior of the offensive line or the edge rusher, but one can make arguments that it’s a priority.

Suppose they look for replenishment in the draft. There will be options. Baltimore probably won’t grab one during early rounds, so we’ll rule out options like Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State Sun Devils), Carnell Tate (Ohio State Buckeyes), and Denzel Boston (Washington Huskies). Still, there’s some pop in this class. Here are seven young men who would look great in the Ravens uniform.

K.C. Concepcion’s versatility would be extremely attractive in Baltimore’s offense. He can line up inside or outside. He can create yards after the catch and serve as a motion weapon.

61 receptions for 919 yards and nine touchdowns were the result of this year’s efforts. All of that constitutes valuable traits for a scheme built around stressing defenses horizontally to complement the run game.

Makai Lemon brings burst and playmaking ability. Those are two traits that pair well with Lamar Jackson’s improvisational nature. He can uncover quickly and turn short catches into explosive gains when plays break down. If a Hollywood Brown reunion isn’t in the cards, this will make Ravens fans who said they wanted one forget that they said it.

Malachi Fields offers size and catch-radius advantages the Ravens could use, particularly in contested situations and the red zone. He profiles as a possession receiver and third-down option who can move chains. He’s a bigger-bodied receiver. A heavy dose of him and Derrick Henry in the offensive attack will make defenses beg for mercy by the fourth quarter.

Bernard is polished, disciplined, and battle-tested against elite SEC competition. His reliability and route detail would give Baltimore a trustworthy target who can contribute early without a steep developmental curve.

Chris Bell’s vertical ability and big-play upside would add another explosive layer to the Baltimore Ravens‘ offense. Defenses already have to account for Baltimore’s run threats. Adding a legitimate bruiser on the outside who can also go deep forces safeties and cornerbacks to hesitate even more.

What a surprise. Clemson is putting receivers in the NFL. The Ravens may move off one (DeAndre Hopkins). Here’s another. Antonio Williams is a route technician with strong hands and route precision, a la Hunter Renfrow. Those traits translate well at the next level.

The now-CFP Champion Indiana Hoosiers brought toughness and physicality last season. That didn’t stop at Elijah Sarratt, but the young man also brought tracking skills. He projects as someone who could carve out a role as a dependable outside target and a quarterback-friendly option while developing further.

In closing:

The Baltimore Ravens don’t need to reinvent their offense. They just need to keep enhancing it, adding pieces that make life easier for their quarterback and harder for opposing defenses.

If Baltimore finds another receiver who can separate, win contested catches, or create after the catch (or all of those things), they won’t be adding another depth piece. They’ll be one step closer to getting back in the hunt and beginning a legitimate Super Bowl run.
