Miles Boykin, Wide Receiver, Baltimore Ravens

Round 3 Pick 29 (Pick 93 Overall)

Miles Boykin flew up draft boards in a hurry after a stellar showing at the combine. He showed a fantastic size and speed combination that had teams drooling over his potential. The Ravens love his potential to grow with young quarterback Lamar Jackson even after taking fellow wide receiver Marquise Brown in the first round.

It might be putting it lightly to say Baltimore is going through a complete overhaul of the receiver corps this offseason. Willie Snead is the lone consistent contributor left from last season. That means both Boykin and Brown will be big, early targets for Lamar Jackson as rookies. Their combined ability to stretch the field deep could also equate to the Ravens taking more deep shots in 2019.
