The Wide Receivers Room

General manager Eric DeCosta joked about how the Ravens did not urgently need a wide receiver in the weeks leading up to the draft.

Then, suddenly, that situation changed.

After the Ravens traded Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals, there was more room for a playmaking wideout.

DeCosa shifted gears and set his sights on Calvin Austin III of Memphis in the fourth round, but the Steelers grabbed him with the 138th pick. DeCosta selected a second tight end, Isaiah Likely, with the next pick.

It was a class of wide receivers that were so talented that many of them went in the first round.
