Eric DeCosta On Ravens’ Trouble Drafting WRs: We ‘Just Have To Take Some At-Bats And Swing’

While the Baltimore Ravens have been a sort of model franchise for an expansion team—they have won two Super Bowls in the past two decades, after all—and have done a very good job of building from the ground up via the draft, their longstanding blind spot in acquiring draft talent has been at the wide receiver position.

One would be hard-pressed to find many exciting names that they have drafted. Arguably the most accomplished such wide receiver would be Torrey Smith, as they have had to rely on free agent signings instead, such as Steve Smith, Mike Wallace, and John Brown most recently.
