The Ravens have been known for having terrific success with their first-round picks.Ray Lewis,Jonathan OgdenandEd Reedrepresent the past era of first-round picks to leave an impact on this organization. Today, it isJoe Flacco,Terrell Suggsand the reigning AFC Rookie of the YearC.J. Mosleythat are leading the way.
Perriman has boom or bust potential, but gives Flacco a much need target with the departures ofTorrey SmithandJacoby Jones. Perriman has blazing speed with a 4.24 and 4.27 40-yard-dash times, and has the height and wingspan to make a difference at the next level.
