Throughout the NFL Draft process, Jordyn Tyson has emerged as a dream target<\/a> for Baltimore Ravens fans. It’s easy to see why Tyson is viewed in this light; he’d give them a dependable deep threat and red-zone monster serving as a perfect complement to Zay Flowers. Nevertheless, there’s a significant chance that Tyson is off the board when the Ravens are on the clock at pick 14. Or, maybe his medicals don’t check out, and the team has to turn elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Drafting a wide receiver would behoove the Ravens either way, though. Right now, they are too dependent on Flowers, and Lamar Jackson needs another high-end weapon<\/a>. The Ravens have several options outside of Tyson to fill this massive void. <\/p>\n

5 WRs the Baltimore Ravens should target in 2026 NFL DraftOmar Cooper<\/p>\n

There are several realistic outcomes where the Ravens draft Omar Cooper — whether that be drafting him a bit higher than consensus at 14, trading down, or trading back into the first round. Regardless, he’d be a seamless fit, providing Baltimore’s receiving room a much-needed size and athleticism boost. In addition to his undeniable gifts as an explosive deep threat and efficient red-zone machine, Cooper has impressive versatility. <\/p>\n

During his last season at Indiana, Cooper posted 933 yards and 13 touchdowns while being Fernando Mendoza’s most reliable weapon. All in all, Cooper is a logical target who would open up an exposlive element in the Ravens’ passing game that they’re searching for. <\/p>\n

Carnell Tate<\/p>\n

Carnell Tate falling to pick 14 seems improbable. As such, I view Tate as a prime trade-up target for the Ravens. By all accounts, Tate is the best and safest WR talent in the class. <\/p>\n

Tate’s versatility stands out as a key strength, as he can line up as an X or Z receiver, which would help him complement Flowers. He is a fantastic route runner with an impressive ability to separate and make contested catches. While Tate is the most lofty target on this list, there’s no denying that he’d be a perfect fit. <\/p>\n

Makai Lemon<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if Makai Lemon will be available at pick 14, but if he is, the Ravens will likely seriously consider him. At the surface level, Lemon’s skill set is repetitive with Flowers, as both players are smaller, versatile route runners. Nevertheless, it’s not a bad thing to have two of these types of players on the same team. <\/p>\n

The USC product might not give Baltimore the size and athleticism they are looking for, but he can still fill in a lot of gaps. He is a safe bet to be a quality contributor from the get-go. Even if Lemon isn’t the best fit in the world, he could be a true needle mover for a Ravens team that desperately needs more pass catchers.<\/p>\n

Denzel Boston <\/p>\n

Taking Denzel Boston certainly carries some risk.<\/a> Most notably, he doesn’t separate at a high level. However, if he falls into the second round, the Ravens would have to consider him at pick 45. At 6-foot-4, Boston is a big-bodied target who proved to be an efficient red-zone threat, reeling in 20 touchdowns in the past two seasons. <\/p>\n

The Washington product is also skilled at making contested catches. Given his blend of size, big play creation, and ability to generate touchdowns, Boston can solve a lot of the Ravens’ problems. <\/p>\n

Ja’Kobi Lane<\/p>\n

Ordinarily, I’d be cautious about saying a mid-second-round or third-round pick could be a game-changer. However,\u00a0Ja’Kobi Lane is tailor-made to solve the Ravens’ problems<\/a> and is poised to be readily available as a day two pick. Lane is an explosive 6-foot-4 receiver capable of both creating big plays down the field and catching touchdowns in the red zone. <\/p>\n

Ravens fans might be disappointed not to get a bigger name. Regardless, waiting until the second or third round and drafting Lane could prove to be prudent as it would allow the Ravens to upgrade another position while ultimately finding a WR who is tailor-made for Declan Doyle’s offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Throughout the NFL Draft process, Jordyn Tyson has emerged as a dream target for Baltimore Ravens fans.
