Ravens pick WR Breshad Perriman in first round of NFL draft

After weeks of insisting that they didn't feel any pressure to add a receiver and that they were comfortable with what they had at the position, the Ravens couldn't resist adding another target for quarterback Joe Flacco.

Ten years since last picking a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL draft, the Ravens used the 26th overall selection on Central Florida's Breshad Perriman, considered one of the fastest players in the draft.

Perriman, 21, didn't work out at the NFL scouting combine because of a hamstring injury, but he reportedly ran a sub-4.
