Baltimore Ravens Draft Needs: Wide Receiver or Offensive Line in First Round?

The Baltimore Ravens have a number of holes to fill this offseason. But which ones will they address in next month's NFL Draft?

The Baltimore Ravens have lost a ton of players this offseason already to free agency. While they've also added a few pieces by way of replacements, there's still a lot of work to do for general manager Eric DeCosta as the upcoming NFL Draft approaches.

Many suitable players remain available on the free agent market, but those players can be pricey. DeCosta will most likely - as he usually does - build from the draft.

The Ringer recently projected the Ravens' biggest need in the draft.

"The Ravens got brain drained this offseason, losing a litany of players, coaches, and front office members. Baltimore lost both starting guards on offense, plus inside linebacker Patrick Queen, who led the team in defensive snaps, and it could lose defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who was second on the team in sacks. Baltimore could also use receiver help after losing Odell Beckham Jr.

"But after using first-round picks on receivers in two of the past three years, the Ravens may look to plug their holes on the interior of the offensive line, on the edges of the defensive line, and around star safety Kyle Hamilton, who needs a good cornerback."

As new defensive coordinator Zach Orr builds his unit, Hamilton will need help in the secondary. But with the luck DeCosta had with drafting receiver Zay Flowers last year, he may decide to attempt a repeat with a wideout in April.
