Ravens get lucky at receiver, unlucky at tight end in first wave of free agency

A breakdown of the initial wave of free agency for the Baltimore Ravens:

Overall grade: B-minus. General manager Ozzie Newsome wanted to revamp the wide receiver position, and that's exactly what he did. Whether he upgraded it as much as some anticipated is open for debate. The Ravens were extremely fortunate at wide receiver, getting Michael Crabtree after Ryan Grant failed his physical. Baltimore went from overpaying for Grant to getting great value for Crabtree. The Ravens feel they upgraded their deep threat, signing John Brown and letting Mike Wallace leave in free agency.
