The Ravens should avoid drafting a receiver in the first round

As much as fans would love to see Eric DeCosta and the Ravens provide Lamar Jackson with more legitimate receiving threats, the Ravens would be wise to address the defense early and select a wide receiver in the middle rounds of the draft.

In a very deep class of wide receivers, starting options could be available in rounds 2-5. With the loss of key pass-rushers in Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue via free agency, however, I anticipate the Ravens targeting an edge rusher in the first round. The team currently has very little pass rushing depth as Pernell McPhee and Jaylon Ferguson are slotted as starters at the moment.
