To help Lamar Jackson, Ravens must solve biggest draft problem

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The biggest challenge of Eric DeCosta's first draft as general manager is to solve the Baltimore Ravens' longest-running problem this time of the year.

The Ravens have been the NFL's worst team in drafting wide receivers since relocating from Cleveland in 1996 -- the one smudge on an otherwise stellar draft resume for former GM Ozzie Newsome. No wide receiver drafted by the Ravens has made the Pro Bowl (Jermaine Lewis went to it as a returner), and only one has produced a 1,000-yard season (Torrey Smith in 2013).
