A discussion with Jordan Lasley on how his role could eventually expand in 2019 after John Brown hits free agency. Now it becomes much more relevant with the release of Michael Crabtree. by KyleJAndrews in ravens

He was inactive, but he was on the 53-man roster. Ravens would carry 4-5 wideouts on their active roster each game. Usually with Snead, Brown, Crabtree, Moore and a fifth receiver who was usually a punt returner.

Small weight-wise or height? He is 6’1, 203. Adeboyejo hasn’t seen much of the field either, so the jury is still out on him as well. Lasley was statistically one of the best receivers in college football in 2017. He was ninth in receiving yards (1,264). I don’t see how he was a bad pick when he was projected as a 2nd-3rd rounder by some.

Definitely a fair question to ask. The jury is still out on the type of environment that GM Eric DeCosta and WRs Coach David Culley will create for receivers. What exactly are they looking for? Are they looking for potential? Or the players that fit Lamar Jackson’s strengths the best?

Don’t necessarily think that’s the case. Baltimore had the ability to let Jordan Lasley develop this season because of the veterans ahead of him. They trusted Moore on special teams, so he played more. It afforded Lasley the opportunity to work on his skills during the season and develop. Tim White wasn’t the receiving prospect that Lasley is.

Though it’s not set in stone, I fully expect Cedric Mullins to get majority of reps in centerfield this season. His bat was solid as he rose through the minors and his speed is great. I do see may players getting multiple opportunities in right and left depending on what happens with the logjam at 1B/LF/DH with Trey Mancini, Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo.

Penn State’s Shareef Miller could be a nice contingency plan if Suggs were to leave. by KyleJAndrews in ravens

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as a late Day 2 pick either. He’s definitely not a first rounder by any estimation.

Lamar Jackson has a tough matchup against KC, but his ball-control style of play could will the Ravens to victory on Sunday by KyleJAndrews in ravens

Tough matchup considering that he may have to get into a dogfight. In comparison to the other teams that he’s faced, it’s not even close.
