What do you folks think about our WR depth chart for 2016? Will we draft a WR?

[Underdogsontop!]

So here's what I'm thinking.......

1) SSS

2) Wallace

3) Aiken

4) Periman

5) Camp or Chris Mathews?

6) Draft pick

what do you folks think?

Wallace and Perriman on the corners. SSS/Aiken/Camp in the slot. Continue to grow Waller and Butler. I don't see them drafting a receiver in the early round unless Laquan Treadwell drops to the 2nd round then maybe they go for it

Remember when we had Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith catching deep balls every game? That helped open up our offense. Guys like Pitta and Boldin would rake in first downs all day as a result. I see the same with Perriman and Mike Williams...but potentially better. Add a solid running game with Buck, Forsett, and Taliafero and I'm liking it.

 

On paper Wallace and Perriman would be a better duo. Perriman is suppose to be able to do what Torrey could and THEN SOME. I just hope the guy gets healthy so we can finally see what he can do. At worst, he should still be a burner/deep threat. fingers crossed

I think Butler needs to be in the mix.

You think Butler over Camp or Chris Mathews? I think Butler would be back on practice squad.

If Camp is healthy no.  I do put Butler ahead of Mathews. More than likely special teams will play a big role in determining the 5th and 6th receivers.

[rmw10]

I think it's far too early to say of course, but I'd think Campanaro, Butler, Matthews, and Clay (as a KR/PR) are the favorites for the last couple of spots.  There's still the draft and an entire offseason to go, though.

[Ravensfan23]

I have no sources, I have no inside info, I just have a gut feeling that Josh Dotson will drop to the top of round 2 and Ozzie will pounce. His ability to high point the ball is a match made in heaven for Flacco. It's like having a younger Boldin in terms of a guy being covered but still a viable option.

How I see the WR group playing out is SSS, Aiken, Perriman and Wallace seeing a ton of playing time. If Camp stays healthy I can see him mixed in as well. 

I was both surprised and impressed by Aiken last season. I feel he has a long term role on this team but if Doctson is indeed drafted he'll be viewed as a top end guy of the future paired with Perriman imo.

So I see it this way

WR #1

SSS, Perriman, Doctson

WR #2

Aiken, Wallace, Camp

I've seen some info somewhere that Doctson could be the 1st WR off the board. Also seen him being compared to AJ green. If we ended up with him in the second round I'd do backflips up and down my street!!!!

[gtalk12]

I'm surprised how badly WR's are wanted at this point considering we have a legit deep threat in Wallace, a 1st round pick in Perriman, a possession receiver in Smith and Camp/Aiken. Don't forget all the TE's we have, barring health of course. Gillmore/Maxx/Watson.

 

I'm doubt we are going with a WR in the first, maybe the 2nd. If Myles Jack or Ramsey are made available with the 6th pick I doubt any trade scenario will land us a WR in the 1st. In the 2nd it would make alittle more sense, but at this point I just don't think the best player made available in the 2nd will be a WR.

Smith has 1 more year. Aiken is a UFA after the season. Wallace is essentially on a 1 year deal unless he really rebounds here. Perriman still might not actually exist. 

Its not an immediate need, but there is a long term one at the least.

I've been a Ravens fan since 1996. Receiver is a need EVERY year, just how it goes here. 

However, I do like the deal for Wallace. Low risk, high reward. He gives the Offense that much more speed on the outside to go with Perriman Smith and Aiken...I'll say this, we've had WR groups who could all burn..but nobody could actually catch the ball (if it ever made it there) we've also had groups of 3-4 possession receivers who just couldn't stretch the defense vertically. 

 This is (if all stay healthy) we will have as diverse a receiver group as we've ever had. 

 I'm honestly excited to see what they can do. If we can establish the run game, this could be a pretty potent attack. As always though, time will tell.

Maybe I have more faith in Perriman/Wallace then most. With all the TE's we have, I think with Gilmore and Maxx and a developing Butler/Waller we are going to be ok. Even with Steve leaving soon, I think the Ravens keep Aiken and he steps into that possesion receiver role. It falls on what Perriman becomes really...

I've been seeing that as well, just still have a guy feeling he'll drop to the top of the 2ND. I see him as a really strong #2 WR and a perfect compliment to Perriman's speed.

Perriman is the only legit long term option the Ravens have and he hasn't had more then one practice as a pro. Wallace is a nice option but he'll be a lot like Jacoby imo. He'll be a quality specialist. 

Aiken did a great job last year, but I don't think you pass up the opportunity to add a potential stud for him even if you do plan on keeping him. The same is true times 10 for guys like Butler

I disagree completely, Wallace may seem one dimensional but Jacoby has never caught for over 600 yards in one season. Even with Ryan T as his QB he still had 10Td's with an arm that could not get him the ball deep. I watched him down here for 2 years and Dolphin fans would cry that Wallace would be open and he could never hit Wallace his first year there (5 TDs). Wallace is an upgrade to every receiver not named Steve Smith in the last couple of years. Wallace chased the money which led him to play with 2 teams who's QB's could not get him the ball the way he needs it.....So no, he is not going to be like Jacoby in my opinion and there is no way he does not start along side Steve Smith if he's healthy

[Maryland]

Honestly, these past 3 years with noodle-armed QBs may have helped Wallace in his development as a player. He was forced to run a lot more short and intermediate routes as a consequence of his QBs never being able to use him consistently as a deep threat. Maybe this will be the year when he can finally put it all together and use all of his talents.

I got to agree with you. Jacoby would not put up those numbers with Ryan T or birdgewater IMO. I'd bet Jacoby wouldn't even start. So ultimately I think Wallace would do a lot better if healthy here in Baltimore.

[cobrajet]

If Campanero could stay healthy he could be a beast slot receiver. He guy catches everything thrown his way and is elusive after the catch. It kills me that the guy is so injury prone, because his potential could be very high. Maybe this is the year he finally stays healthy..........finger and toes crossed.

Everything you said here is spot on. Joe's got the cannon and Wallace got the wheels plus he's got triple S to keep him in line. Really love this signing.

You're not kidding here. I seen Camp totally destroy Maryland all by himself a couple years back. Caught like 20 passes or something. Seems like he just knows how to get open and could be a very nice security blanket for Joe on 3rd downs. Could be the secret weapon sleeper this year.

Fingers and toes crossed too.

I still waiting on them bag a chips (Camp). I still won't rely on him to stay healthy which would cause us to keep an extra receiver. With Perriman, and SSSr coming off their own, it's gonna take a whole lot of that Faith. 

[FastEddie]

Hard not to be excited about our WR group for 2016 after the signing of Wallace, Smith Sr. commitment, and BP unknown. All of these factors keep the window open for our team to catch lightening in a bottle with this group

Going out on a limb and say this group is better than the 2012 Super Bowl squad.

[gtalk12]

The need at WR isn't as big as we think it is. At the end of the day Joe was under too much pressure last year with a group of WR's that did not have the speed to get open at times. Perriman and Wallace fix that issue, am I the only one who thinks that? The biggest issue we face last year was injuries and although we may not be as talented as other teams in several positions it does not change the fact that we still had success. It was the defensive side of the ball that failed us, we are focusing too much at this point on the WR position in terms of us fans.

 

That position, including the TE's, is stacked with a bunch of players we need to develop. Either that or overpay (see the Lions; I really wanted Marvin Jones) Forget need, who is going to be the best player available at the 6th pick

it's going to come down to health which I've been preaching up and down this forum.....that is what had us in a horrible position last year during the year, HEALTH......let's not forget we where going toe to toe with the Patriots in the playoffs and lost with a 5 or 6th string CB....

We now have the 2 most Dangerous WRs in the league. If Flacco can get his timing to score quick 6s Ravens could be dangerous this season. Ravens need to draft Michael Thomas WR Ohio State

Perriman, if he can keep his speed with his PCL injury, is easily one of the most dangerous players in the league the same way DeSean Jackson is. Dangerous doesn't equate to best, just a serious threat to score any time the ball hits his hands

I really think Perriman can be a player in this league but I don't like people talking him up like he's done something. He's essentially a rookie this year. We have no idea what kind of player he'll be like any other rookie. I doubt teams will focus on him or count on stopping him early as critical to their game plan. This may change throughout the year, though. I just think it's premature atm.

Possibly but He's done absolutely nothing yet 

[hawkprey]

If Flacco can throw to Aiken, Givens and Ross and still keep us in the game despite the defense being garbage, certainly this group of WRs looks fine.
