If everyone stays healthy probably not but I think the Ravens felt very limited on the outside without Flowers against Buffalo. Will he catch 45, who knows but if an injury happens 45 could turn a low estimate. He caught 41 in 10 games with KC

Exactly. Bateman cant stay completely healthy and Zay is small. Hopkins and Wallace are on 1 yr deals. I think WR is still in play in the first two rounds.

Would've preferred Cooper Kupp if they wanted a veteran WR, but probably wouldn't have fit the budget.

Hopkins isn't a #1 or #2 anymore, but don't see how he can't be usable with Flowers and Bateman.

 

Kupp is reportedly getting 3yr/$45M from Seattle. While I think he could end up have a good bounce-back season, the Ravens couldn't nor shouldn't have gone there contract-wise.

Yeah I don’t know how different they are, but 1/5 vs 3/45 ain’t close and it seemed like people thought they were comparable.

Hopkins had better seperation numbers. Kupp was never getting open down the stretch last season. Maybe it was injury related. But someone posted a trend for Kupp over the last 4 seasons, on where he ranked in seperation gained. He went from like 5th overall four years ago, to like 234th last season. Getting progressively worse every season. Hopkins was actually playing really good before he got injured in week 16. The last two seasons he's had PFF grades in the upper 70's and 80's. Despite declining production.

I feel like he should allow Monken to move Zay all over as a chess piece in 3 wide sets. And he can be a good chain mover, and contested catch guy for Lamar. As a 3rd WR, I like him a lot.

I like it. Cheap veteran add and won't drop the ball much if at all.
