Wide Receiver. Oklahoma State. James Washington. 16. player. 26.

All the Baltimore Ravens had to do this past Sunday was beat the lowly Cincinnati Bengals at home. With a win, the Ravens would have clinched one of the six AFC Playoff spots, but instead, they fell to the Bengals pretty badly. What was evident as that this team does not have enough playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, and they should look to change all of that this offseason.

Guys like Jeremy Maclin and Mike Wallace are serviceable players, but they are no longer elite names. With their first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Ravens should look to bring in a new top wide receiver, and James Washington from Oklahoma State would be a nice find this late in round one. Some actually believe he is the best wideout in this draft class, and he would be a perfect fit in Baltimore.

Quarterback Joe Flacco loves to show off his big arm, and Washington would enable him to do that on a much more consistent basis. Washington not only has the ability to stretch the defense, but also to go over the middle, making him a rare commodity at the wide receiver position. Baltimore still has a solid defense, and if they can put more weapons around Flacco, they should be challenging for a playoff spot once again in 2018.
