Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski named one commerce every NFL group ought to make earlier than the beginning of the season, and he has Baltimore because the touchdown spot for two gamers.
“The Baltimore Ravens are an obvious landing spot after moving Marquise Brown during the draft. The team didn’t address the wide receiver position after doing so,” Sobleski wrote. “Instead, Lamar Jackson and Co. will rely heavily on Rashod Bateman to blossom in Year 2 with little beyond him.”
“Little beyond him” is yet one more shot on the Ravens‘ large receivers, together with Devin Duvernay, James Proche II and others. They have carried out properly in coaching camp so far, although Duvernay is coping with a thigh bruise.
Reagor, the 21st-overall selection in 2020, has not performed up to his draft inventory so far. In 28 video games (together with 24 begins), Reagor has 64 catches for 695 yards and three touchdowns.
“We were told that Reagor’s name came up. There was no offer,” Adam Caplan of the “Inside the Birds” podcast stated in May. “The Ravens definitely, from multiple sources, had had interest in Reagor during the [2020] draft.
Sobleski’s other suggested trade involving the Ravens has them acquiring Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Lucas Niang. A 2020 third-round pick, Niang started nine games last year after opting out of his rookie season because of the pandemic.
“This offseason, [Chiefs] General Manager Brett Veach signed veteran Geron Christian and drafted Darian Kinnard within the fifth spherical. Both can play proper deal with. Niang’s standing is abruptly in query after just one yr,” Sobleski wrote.
Adding Niang, 23, would give Baltimore youth and additional depth at offensive tackle. However, they already have a lot of depth at that position.
This offseason, the Ravens signed veteran right tackle Morgan Moses and drafted offensive tackle Daniel Faalele. They also have veteran Ja’Wuan James, who has played right tackle most of his career but provides insurance at left tackle if Ronnie Stanley isn’t ready.
“The Ravens skilled so many accidents alongside their offensive entrance the final two years {that a} small funding in one other middle-round expertise will give them even higher depth,” Sobleski wrote.
Will Fuller Reportedly Being Monitored by Multiple Teams
The Ravens being encouraged to trade for a wide receiver isn’t surprising, but it seems more likely that they sign a veteran free agent if they choose to add to their young receiving corps.
