In the NFL there are no minor league affiliates for the Baltimore Ravens to develop wide receivers on. The Baltimore Orioles depend on their farm system to grow prospects into actual contributors in the big leagues.
Developing receivers for the Ravens means investing draft picks into the wide receiver position and allowing these receivers to take up some of the 53 roster spots.
