GM DeCosta: Ravens have added 'guys that can make plays' for Lamar

General manager Eric DeCosta thinks the Baltimore Ravens have done a solid job of adding weapons for reigning MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson.

"We think if you look at our team over the last two, three years, we've done a lot to address skill positions: targets for Lamar, guys that can make plays," he said Tuesday, according to Baltimoreravens.com's Clifton Brown.

"We feel really, really good about that. We love the mix of personalities and players and the upside and leadership that we've got. And I think Lamar's got a great chemistry with those guys as well. We think our younger guys are going to continue to make a jump."

The Ravens selected at least two wideouts in each of the last three drafts, and added two first-round receivers in both the 2018 and 2019 draft (tight end Hayden Hurst and wide receiver Marquise Brown).

Baltimore used a 2020 third-round selection on receiver Devin Duvernay and a sixth-rounder on James Proche, who will now join a receiving corps that also features Willie Snead and Miles Boykin.

Tight end Mark Andrews led the team in receptions (64), receiving yards (852), and touchdowns (10) last year. After Hurst was traded to the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, veteran Nick Boyle is set to gain snaps at TE along with Andrews.

No Baltimore wide receiver topped 50 catches or 600 yards in 2019. Though the team finished last in pass attempts (440), it had the best scoring unit in the NFL overall. Baltimore's rushing attack led the league with more than 200 yards per game.

DeCosta was named general manager prior to last season after occupying the assistant GM role over the seven seasons prior (2012-18). He's been in the organization since 1996.
