Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta 'insulted' by criticism of team's wide receivers

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta vehemently defended the team's wide receivers during Monday's pre-draft news conference.

"I'm aware that there's some fan discontent with our wide receivers and our drafting and all that," DeCosta said. "We've got some really good young receivers. It's insulting to these guys when they hear that we don't have any receivers. It's quite insulting. I'm insulted by it too, to be honest. I think we've got some guys that want to show everybody what they can do."

Since the Ravens' first draft in 1996, Baltimore and Washington are the only teams not to draft a Pro Bowl wide receiver.
