Late For Work 1/27: Will Ravens Use Top Pick On Wide Receiver Again?

Ozzie Newsome has used only three of his 20 first-round draft picks in team history on wide receivers.

He went that route last year with Breshad Perriman, and the previous times were in 2000 (Travis Taylor) and 2005 (Mark Clayton).

That drafting portfolio suggests Newsome will go a different route in the first round of this year’s draft, but CSN’s Clifton Brown examined whether the Ravens would target a receiver with their No. 6 overall pick.

“If they do, the early money would be on Mississippi wide receiver Laquon Treadwell,” Brown wrote.
