The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of talented wide receivers currently on their roster. They have Marquise Brown, Rashod Bateman, and others, but they could also look to add another in the 2022 NFL draft to give quarterback Lamar Jackson another weapon to throw to.
One of the top prospects in the 2022 draft class at wide receiver is George Pickens out of the University of Georgia. He suffered a torn ACL during spring ball that cost him most of the 2021 season, but has recovered and has solidified his status as one of the best in his class.

Pickens is a tall wideout, standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing around 200 pounds. He is a good route runner, and can haul in any pass that’s thrown in his vicinity. He also plays with plenty of tenacity, and is an extremely fiery competitor.
There have been rumblings about Pickens potentially being selected in the late first round. However, if he somehow falls to No. 45 he would be a great value pick for a player that fits the profile of what Baltimore needs at the position right now.
