Despite Baltimore team brass’ comments that indicated an organizational devaluation of the receiver position, they elected to spend their first pick on a wideout. Bateman is an elite route technician with excellent hands and alignment versatility. A natural playmaker, he will push for starter snaps immediately and help give the Ravens the offensive weaponry Lamar Jackson desperately needs to defeat the top contenders when the stakes are highest in the postseason.

Excellent pick. The pick many of us hoped for months ago has come to fruition. After all the commotion from the fanbase and the retort from general manager Eric DeCosta regarding the wide receiver room, he takes a wide receiver with his first selection for the second time.
