A Possible Solution to the Ravens lack of depth at Wide Receiver


Going into the off-season, the Baltimore Ravens have plenty of needs. The most glaring of which are at wide receiver and corner back. The local sports radio has been filled with people calling in and expressing their hopes and aspirations for the Ravens acquiring a big play wide receiver such as Brandon Marshall or Anquan Boldin. While I would certainly welcome either one of those receivers to the team, I think it is far fetched that either one will end up in purple and black, so that leaves the Ravens with two options: free agency and the NFL draft. Judging from the Raven's past in the NFL draft when it comes to wide receivers, that option seems rather bleak. Travis Taylor and Mark Clayton are the only two receivers the Ravens have selected in the first round and both of them have turned out to be busts. Clayton still has a chance but that chance is getting smaller and smaller by the moment. So that leaves free agency or trade and there are only a few names out there. Buccaneers wide out Antonio Bryant could be of some help, he is a vertical threat who can stretch the field, but he has injury problems. There is also the guy who cries about his quarterback, but he is getting old and also dissed the Ravens several years back so that probably won't happen either. I'm going to propose one option for the Ravens that the majority of talk show hosts and obnoxious fans that call in to bother the talk show hots have failed to mention. Sign the one and only guy out there that can not only catch, but can also cure cancer. The man who can make Chuck Norris cry and the man who will deliver the city of Baltimore from twelve straight losing seasons, the man who gets repulsive girls from Frederick all hot and sweaty to play wide receiver next year, a man named Matt Wieters.

Once again, I am running short on time and have to post another short entry. Hopefully, next week I will be able to post a decent entry. Currently, I've got some ideas brewing, but I guess they will just have to continue to wait and develop in that great mind of mine. Plus, the 100th blog entry is rapidly approaching and that one most certainly will have to be special.
