The Ravens are hosting Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston and Georgia tight end Oscar Delp for pre-draft visits on Friday, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Sports Illustrated’s Arye Pulli.

Boston, 22, is a prototypical X receiver with a big frame, reliable hands, and plenty of ball skills. He’s a good, but not great athlete who wins with physicality and toughness, plus a solid understanding of leverage and positioning both as a route-runner and at the catch point. His size also lends itself to run blocking, which is crucial for young wide receivers in Baltimore.

But Boston’s skillset plays a lot better in college than in the NFL. He does not separate consistently coming out of his breaks, but knows how to flatten routes, shield the ball, and make tough catches. But Lamar Jackson hates tight windows – fewer than 12% of his targets in each of the past four seasons, per NFL Pro – so it’s fair to wonder if he would pepper Boston with jump balls relative to, say, Aaron Rodgers.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout currently sits at No. 25 on Baltimore Beatdown’s updated Big Board, making him a potential target if the Ravens trade back in the first round. If they are determined to add a receiver with the No. 14 pick, they would be better served by drafting Indiana’s Omar Cooper Jr. or Texas A&M’s K.C. Concepcion (assuming Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon are both off the board). We at Beatdown are lower on Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson due to major injury concerns, which also prevented him from participating in pre-draft testing that would offer a more concrete idea of his athleticism.

Delp, 22, never reached 25 catches or 300 yards in a single season at Georgia, though he does have nine touchdowns on 70 career catches (12.8%). He is better as a move blocker on the perimeter but has the grit and toughness to work inline. As a pass-catcher, he has reliable hands and deceptively good route-running which will only get better as he learns to best use his athleticism.

Speaking of which, Delp saw his stock jump significantly after an excellent Pro Day:

That is an exciting athletic profile for a tight end who should be a more productive player in the NFL than he was at Georgia. Delp’s physicality as a blocker and at the catch point is his biggest weakness. He will need to get better at playing through contact in the pros.

Delp sits just outside Baltimore Beatdown’s top 100, making him a priority Day 3 prospect for a Ravens team that needs to add at least one young tight end in April’s draft. Double-dipping with an athlete like Delp and a strong blocker like Will Kacmarek would instant rebuild Baltimore’s tight end room.
