Do the Ravens have a plan for the wide receiver position?
I don’t know.
I’m baffled by the Ravens’ decisions at their biggest position of need; and I’m the biggest Derrick Mason fan on the face of the planet. In fact, I thought he was the MVP of the team last season.
If the Ravens go into the season with the same group of Wide Receivers, I just cannot consider them a Super Bowl contender.
But there’s plenty of time.
Let’s see what everyone else has to say…..
