The Baltimore Ravens have had a quiet offseason that has consisted of retaining what they can and signing RB Derrick Henry.

They’ve had many players walk, or will soon be originally on another team. One of those is WR Odell Beckham Jr., who leaves the Ravens wide receiver room a bit thinner with his departure.

Baltimore undoubtedly has to address wide receiver in the draft with how thin it currently is. In the last draft, the Ravens hit on Zay Flowers and he is going to be a long-term piece. The Ravens are set to visit with Malachi Corley out of Western Kentucky, a player who would bring a unique skill set.

Wide Receivers Coach Greg Lewis watched Corley at his Pro Day after Corley was unable to do on-field work at the NFL Combine. Corley still ran a 4.4 40-yard dash, which was pivotal for his draft profile.

At 5-foot-10 and nearly 220 pounds, Corley is a wide receiver in a running back’s body and he plays like it. Corley is a bruiser of a wideout once he gets the ball in his hands and he has the speed to make the defense hurt in space.

At Western Kentucky, Corley was productive over the last three seasons but doesn’t have a well-rounded route tree and that’s something that worries teams. Still, he’s an intriguing prospect who could fit nicely into the Ravens’ offense and a player that they could land following the first round.
