BALTIMORE — The annual NFL scouting combine started Monday in Indianapolis, and the consensus around Baltimore is that the Ravens should select a wide receiver with the No. 22 overall pick in the first round.
That’s nothing new, even though the Ravens have taken some disappointing pass catchers in the first round, such as Travis Taylor, Breshad Perriman, Mark Clayton and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.
The Ravens have five picks in April’s draft, their fewest since 1999, so the emphasis should be on defense. At the end of last season, Baltimore was playing defense as well as any team in the NFL with the exception of the San Francisco 49ers.
