The need, the need for speed: Ravens tendencies at WR
The Ravens are still obsessed with speed at the position, especially in the earlier rounds. The clearest tendency that they have in all of their receiver selections is their need for speed on day one and two of the NFL Draft. A 4.4 40 or faster highlights the profile of all of these selections. They also like to find wide receivers who are big, and fast for their size – in the case of Aaron Mellette or Jaleel Scott, or receivers who are simply big, and fast for anyone’s size – in the case of Tommy Streeter or Miles Boykin.
