John Harbaugh would like to add a great physical receiver, but he’s not begging

But the Ravens have a lot to understand this offseason when it comes to deciding how to address the receiving corps.

First of all, they need to assess their current players. The Ravens have doubled down on wide receiver in each of the last two NFL draft drafts to establish a young receiving corps who could grow with Jackson. What roles do they see for Miles Boykin, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II in the future?

Second, even if the Ravens want to sign a veteran, do they want to dedicate enough salary cap space to make a splash when they also have some great young players, such as Jackson, Andrews, Orlando Brown Jr., Matthew Judon? , Yannick Ngakoue and others, waiting for their pay? This year, with a shrinking salary cap, it seems unlikely Baltimore can take care of itself and add a big money catcher.

Moreover, is the wide receiver even the position that would be best served by committing substantial sums? The Ravens threw the ball the fewest times in the NFL. A top notch weapon on the outside can change that, but, with such a dominant offense and offense scoring the seventh most points in the NFL this season, is it the right formula?

“How does that value compare to other places in the attack and to other places on the team?” Said Harbaugh. “It really depends on who you can get and what they’re going to cost, in the end. And who wants to be here.”

While waiting for the Chicago Bears unrestricted free agent, Allen Robinson is the player the Ravens pundits talk about the most right now. He is 6 feet 2 inches, 220 pounds, and averaged 100 catches and just under 1,200 yards over the past two seasons.

But the same pundits wonder if an unrestricted free agent like Robinson would want to come to Baltimore because the Ravens don’t throw the ball much. For what it’s worth, Robinson recently “liked” a writer’s suggestion that Baltimore should hand him a blank check to cure all their offensive ailments.
