If the Baltimore Ravens are serious about getting over the top and breaking through into a Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson, continuing to bolster the talent in the passing game is a must.
The Ravens were stopped in their tracks in the AFC Championship Game, as their run to the Super Bowl careened to a halt with Jackson completing just 54 percent of his passes with one touchdown to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Even signing Derrick Henry, in arguably the best schematic fit among any of the free-agent running backs who changed zip codes this offseason, will have much impact in the vertical passing game.
While Zay Flowers emerged immediately as a legitimate deep threat, and Rashod Bateman proved when healthy that he can be a reliable big-play weapon, the Ravens would still be wise to continue adding depth at wide receiver. Especially with big-play ability.
Last season, Nelson Agholor caught 35 passes for 381 yards and four touchdowns, as the Ravens’ third-receiving option, underscoring a need to upgrade the depth and talent at the position.
