Welcome to Baltimore Rashod Bateman!

[Ravensblitzkrieg]

Love this pick. Exactly what we needed. His contested catches are the best in the draft. Great hands and will dominate in the red zone. Kinda reminds me of Dez Bryant

[Robert Drake]

At least when Bateman is on he looks awesome. We've seen the highs and they're what want. This is guy who runs good outside routes and has solid hands. They just have to figure out what happened in 2020 and fix it. Get the 2019 version and he's going to be a solid addition.

What happened is he got Covid, lost a bunch of weight, opted out then back in, period. No mystery.

Man this was some bullshit ass pick, you got Jenkins sitting there and we go with who?? Smh Baltimore still doing the same shit. Piss me off

Bateman plays a way higher impact position that the ravens desperately need if they want to take the next step in the passing game. They also play a system that elevates tackle play, and also has a couple options available in free agency. The Jenkins love is nuts. Great prospect. And so is Bateman, at a higher impact position. It’s great

The highlights are really something. Guy can really separate.

I kinda forget about this pick with all the Oweh hubbub lol. I’ve come all the way around for sure.

[GreatWhiteNorthRaven]

He's probably the highest traits WR the Ravens have drafted.

Nto that that's saying much, but it's a verry good pick. He's got a high floor.

Honestly when I thought Bateman was 6’2 210 he was the guy I wanted most at 27. When he came in at 6’0.5 190 I balked a bit. But the Covid excuse is fair. If his natural playing weight is more 200-205 the skillset will definitely play. I’m excited about this one man. The body control is really special.

He needs to gain weight. I would actually like him to get back to 210 fairly quickly. I’d rather him be 215-220 so he can be really physical at the line. But he may not be comfortable at the weight

I mean I can buy him losing 10 lbs. But COVID has to be a hell of a disease to cause a guy to shrink two inches. =P

People get their heights rounded up all the time. That doesn’t worry me too much. The catch radius is real whether he’s 6’2 or 5’10
