Ravens News: Baltimore Strikes Deal With First-Round Pick Breshad Perriman

The Baltimore Ravens signed the last piece of their 2015 NFL Draft class on Monday, coming to terms with first-round pick Breshad Perriman, per a report by NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.

The former UCF wide receiver will make $8.7 million over the course of a four-year contract with a $4.6 million signing bonus.

Here's some notes on Perriman, courtesy of NFL.com's Chris Wesseling:

He struggled with drops in college, but caught the ball consistently well in rookie minicamp, per ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley.

The Ravens opted against signing a veteran to replace the departed Torrey Smith, which leaves Perriman with an opportunity to start opposite Steve Smith.

Citing Perriman's rare combination of size and speed, Around The NFL's Marc Sessler chose the former UCF star as the rookie wide receiver who will make the biggest impact in 2015.

While Oakland's Amari Cooper and Chicago's Kevin White will likely get the most publicity off the bat, keep your eye on Perriman as an instant game-changer for the Ravens.
