At the start of the offseason, Newsome and the Ravens brass identified a “complimentary receiver” as a role in need of being filled. But with immediate issues in the secondary being mitigated, the Ravens now have the opportunity to gamble on a wide receiver early in the draft and possibly in the first round, as the pass rusher and cornerback classes are the two deepest positions in the draft.
There is no true number one receiver on the Ravens roster. To expect Breshad Perriman to make a tremendous third year jump while being in only his second season of extended playing time would back the offense into a corner without leeway for Perriman not being elite at his position.
