The Ravens Current Wide Receiver Situation and Need

The Ravens could stand to add either a true slot receiver, a bigger-bodied outside receiver, or both.  As of today, Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers will be the starting outside receivers, Nelson Agholor is their utilityman, and Tylan Wallace is their potential slot receiver.  It won’t be this way come opening day.  The Ravens almost certainly will draft one receiver, and arguably two depending on how the board shapes up.  I also wouldn’t be surprised if, depending upon how that shakes out, Michael Gallup winds up on the roster.

Guard Prospects – Ravens 2024 Draft

The guard prospects in the 2024 NFL draft are reviewed from the Ravens perspective.

Ravens 2024 Draft – Part 1, Offensive Tackles

It’s finally time to kick-off my annual positional reports for the upcoming NFL draft.  Readers may recall that this analysis, and the ones to follow, is solely from the Ravens’ perspective.  This is not a “mock draft” for the entire league.  Rather, I focus only on the Ravens’ needs, prospects who might fill those needs, who the Ravens should draft and where in the draft order, and a variety of other Raven-centric thoughts.

I hope to post a series of position-focused blog posts.  This year, I will not review quarterback, center, or tight end prospects.  There is no plausible scenario where the Ravens would invest draft capital in the three positions that are cemented on the roster.  Could they seek out a blocking tight end?  Yes, but I expect that will happen from among the undrafted.
