Ravens wide receivers predictions

Since the loss of Smith we (Ravens Fans) have been worried about who can help out wide for us, this covers where i (and some ravens fans might agree with me) believe the receivers should be in the depth chart and why,

1st in the depth chart without a doubt should be Steve smith Sr. , it's a simple choice because Steve smith is a former pro bowler (5 times) and was rated #54 in the NFL top players last year, he gained over 1000 yards receiving in 2015, he has worked hard his whole career especially for the ravens, he is ranked #14 in all time receiving yards With over 13,000 yards, and also he continues to work hard on and off the field.

2nd in the depth chart should be Reggie Wayne, yes i know what i said, of course he does not play for the ravens but he is a free agents and there are sources that day the ravens have been eyeing him, however the ravens have since said it is highly unlikely, why i believe the ravens should sign him and make him #2 Wide receiver, that's not a hard question, Wayne is a 6 time Pro Bowler and is 8th in all time receiving yards with over 14,000 yards and has proven many times he is a quality wide receiver, he may be 36 but so is Steve smith SR. Who last year had an amazing year, he came into the NFL the same year as Smith and has been with the colts for over a decade until he was cut this year, some would say he is a risk due to his age but people said that about Steve smith SR. and he proved them all wrong, Wayne is an established Receiver and has safe hands and knows the success of winning the Superbowl, the ravens currently have enough in the budget to sign him, but i believe they should at least give him a chance in training camp.

3rd in the depth chart should be Breshad Perriman, he was our round 1 draft pick this year and has worked hard so far for the ravens in training, and i'm sure will dazzle fans attending the training camp that's upcoming, even though he wasn't my personal pick for the first round (Melvin Gordon picked by the chargers before the ravens even got a chance) i see now he was the right one, over his 3 years playing for UCF he gained 2000+ yards receiving and can quickly transfer that into the NFL

4th in the depth chart will be a battle but i think it will come down to the 2 with experience, Marlon Brown and Kamar Aiken, Brown was undrafted in 2013 but has racked up 750+ yards in the NFL after fighting to stay on the roster, meanwhile Aiken was also undrafted in 2011 and the ravens is his 4th team in the NFL who joined the ravens the same year as Brown, however Aiken has a only a third of Browns, Aiken's yards tally stands at 250+ And they will have to battle it out in training camp for the number 4 spot, the other falls into 5th

6th in the depth chart will be another battle but between the 2014 7th round draft pick for the ravens Michael Campanaro and the 2015 ravens 6th round pick Darren Waller,

This will be a battle in training camp, Campanaro's place is safe unless he does really bad in training camp as he is in the hunt for the returner place that is vacant since Jacoby Jones leaving, Waller has impressed coaches in mini-camp because of his speed for such a big guy, he stands at 6 foot 6 inches and is very quick and seems to catch everything thrown at him, we could also see him playing Tight end if there is a injury problem in that position, if he works even harder than he did in mini-camp we could even see him end up higher in the depth chart.

7th in the depth chart, Jeremy Butler, i don't know too much about him, but i do know that Flacco was impressed with him during mini-camp as he said "Jeremy Butler, he might have had 1,500 yards in a three-day mini camp," so with that if he survives the cut he could surprise a few.
