Ravens Eye Receiver at No. 14: Draft Strategy for Lamar Jackson
19 Feb
Summary
- Ravens face a long offseason checklist with contract and defense needs.
- Drafting a receiver early is seen as crucial for Lamar Jackson's success.
- Key decisions loom for contracts and building the roster around Jackson.
The Baltimore Ravens are facing a demanding offseason with numerous critical decisions to make.
Head coach Jesse Minter's priorities include addressing Lamar Jackson's contract and strengthening the defense. Simultaneously, the team must also focus on providing Jackson with sufficient offensive weapons.
Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame advocates for the Ravens to select a wide receiver with their first-round draft pick, especially given the draft's strong talent pool at the position. This approach echoes past successful strategies for building the receiver corps.
With free agency imminent, the Ravens need to secure key players like Tyler Linderbaum and strategically build the roster. While unlikely to solve every issue in one offseason, the team is expected to actively pursue these goals to enhance their competitive standing.
