The Baltimore Ravens have a checkered past of struggling to find and develop wide receiver talent. In the almost 30-year history of the franchise, the Ravens have only drafted one player (Zay Flowers) at the position who earned a Pro Bowl selection — which didn’t come until last season.
There’s been a large number of swings and misses over the years, whether it be on an early-round prospect or draft picks in the later rounds. They’ve been more successful in signing veterans, often later in their careers, than they have through the draft.
For one reason or another, the Ravens have long struggled to develop wide receivers and keep young wideouts on the roster for extended periods of time.
