“The team made a good return on Marquise Brown by selecting center Tyler Linderbaum with the additional first-round player, but the Ravens’ current wide receiver group — led by Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay, Tylan Wallace and James Proche — leaves a lot to be desired left,” Linsey wrote. “Baltimore added two threats on Day 3 in Iowa’s Charlie Kolar and Coastal Carolina’s Isaiah Likely, but it still looks like the Ravens will have to lean heavily on Mark Andrews in 2022, unless they plan to sign further aid in free hand.”
Who will replace Brown, who had 91 catches for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns last season, is now the biggest offseason question for the Ravens, ESPN’s Jamison Hensley said.
“With Brown gone, none of the six wide receivers on the list have more than 53 career catches,” Hensley wrote. “The Ravens can sign or trade for a free agent like Will Fuller V who can expand the field like Brown. While Rashod Bateman fills the expected No. 1 role, Baltimore needs a more proven second option for Lamar Jackson from the outside.”
Fuller is an intriguing potential option. The 27-year-old has undeniable talent but has struggled to stay on the pitch. After signing a one-year, $10 million deal with the Miami Dolphins last season, Fuller missed 15 games due to a PED suspension, a broken finger and personal issues. He has only played more than 11 games once in his six-year career, and that was in his rookie season.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Omar Kelly raised the possibility that the Ravens might be interested in former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry.
However, Landry turns 30 this season and is statistically coming off his worst season (52 catches, 570 yards, two touchdowns). Additionally, Landry is not the type of receiver to stretch the field.
