More speed for Baltimore
player. 26. Rondale Moore. 24. WR. Purdue. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
The signing of Dez Bryant shows that the Baltimore Ravens aren’t satisfied with the current state of their wide receiver corps. While Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin have shown flashes, the Ravens could use one more weapon out wide.
Baltimore’s offense already has plenty of speed with Brown and Lamar Jackson, but adding Rondale Moore to the mix could put this offense over the top. Mark Andrews presents a matchup issue from the tight end position with his athleticism. Putting Brown and now Moore on each side of the field will spread the defense out and almost guarantee that someone breaks free. There would be just too much speed and too many mismatches for the defense to stop.
The Ravens have invested at least four draft picks in wide receivers over the last two years, which is almost unheard of for them. However, Brown is the only one that was taken in the first two rounds.
Taking Moore should allow the team to go another 10 years without a first-round wide receiver. He would give them two young, fast wide receivers to pair with their young and fast playmakers in quarterback Lamar Jackson, tight end Mark Andrews and running back J.K. Dobbins.
