Monday: Stallworth an option at WR? | Tuesday: A closer look at Stallworth | Wednesday: Updating Sypniewski | Thursday: A little on the draft, trade possibilities | Friday: Looking ahead to the draft | Saturday: Is Holt an option?
Sunday, February 7:
Rob Rang projects the Ravens to draft wide receiver Brandon LaFell at No. 25: "With questions regarding the long-term future of 35-year-old Derrick Mason and the inconsistent Mark Clayton, expect the Ravens to again look hard at this year's receiver class. LaFell struggled with consistency in 2009, but has the size and body control to develop into a No. 1 target." [CBSSports.com]
Chad Reuter also predicts the Ravens will draft Brandon LaFell: "Derrick Mason is 35, Mark Clayton is too inconsistent to reward with a large contract after next season and Kelly Washington might hit the street in March. LaFell's size, crisp routes and body control make him the only first round-worthy senior wideout." [CBSSports.com]

Hey Jeff
I do not believe that the Ravens will wait until the draft to address shown that the WR problem. History has demonstrated that drafted WRs take 3 years to be NFL contributors, unless they are a Ravens pick. like Travis Taylor and Mark Clayton. There are a ton of WRs available or will be available via FA. Picking 25th will not get you a top 3 WR, but maybe a top TE. TE is important, how much does Heap have left.
