The first wave of free agency has subsided, but the Ravens’ roster is far from complete.<\/p>\n
As General Manager Eric DeCosta said at Trey Hendrickson’s introductory press conference, there are still bounds of available free agents to evaluate and the draft to prepare for.<\/p>\n
“We have a lot of work to do,” DeCosta said. “\u2026 There are a lot of opportunities for us to get better, and we plan to do that.”<\/p>\n
One of the opportunities that DeCosta and the Ravens’ brass will aim to capitalize on is shoring up the wide receiver room.<\/p>\n
Zay Flowers headlines the returning group as he enters Year 4 with back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons under his belt. Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, and LaJohntay Wester also remain.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Tylan Wallace is reportedly signing with the Browns and DeAndre Hopkins is still a free agent. That creates an opening for at least one new pass catcher to join the unit.<\/p>\n
The largest cache of receivers becomes available in April, when the Ravens are projected to make 11 draft picks. Many pundits have Baltimore selecting a receiver with pick No. 14, including NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, who has Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson tabbed as a Raven in his most recent mock draft<\/a>. Other first-round receivers linked to the Ravens include USC’s Makai Lemon, Ohio State’s Carnell Tate, and Washington’s Denzel Boston.<\/p>\n “I think it’s a pretty strong year in the draft [for receivers],” DeCosta said. “There are some players that we would anticipate potentially being there in the first round at 14 or if we trade back in the first round.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first wave of free agency has subsided, but the Ravens’ roster is far from complete.
