After the Ravens did not use any draft picks on a wide receiver, the Ravens remain thin at the position, and that could explain why four undrafted rookie receivers chose to sign with the team.
Speaking at the team's rookie minicamp on May 6, head coach John Harbaugh said the Ravens might have looked like an attractive option to a receiver who did not get drafted, as he might think the door is open a little wider for him in Baltimore than elsewhere.
"Here is how it works," Harbaugh said after the team's rookie minicamp workout on Saturday. "You are out there, and you do not get drafted. You and your agent and your family are trying to figure out where you should go. Well, you should go where you have the best chance to make it. Well, a lot of time that is the team that has not drafted wide receivers. It is a little tougher when you draft two or three guys at a position to recruit free agents at that position, obviously. So, these guys, they see it and they feel like they have an opportunity to make this team.
