Should the Ravens go after NKeal Harry?
The Baltimore Ravens made it a point to revamp their wide receiver room during the 2021 offseason. They added Sammy Watkins in free agency while also drafting both Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace. Jamal Tooson, the agent of New England Patriots wide receiver NKeal Harry, released a statement on Tuesday requesting a trade on behalf of his client. Tooson noted that 86 targets through two seasons have not been up to the expectations that the wide receiver and the organization had when he was drafted two years ago.

In short, the answer is no. After being selected with the No. 32 overall pick, Harry has caught 45 passes for 414 yards and four touchdowns. He hasnt been nearly the player that New England expected when they drafted him, and that comes down to factors including injuries and an overall lack of development. Harry wouldnt cost nearly as much in draft capital (and salary) as a player such as WR Julio Jones, who was traded this offseason. But even so, it seems Harrys path in the NFL has been similar to that of Ravens WR Miles Boykin  a big-bodied pass catcher who hasnt quite been able to put it all together. Despite all of the reasons why a potential move for Harry doesnt make sense for Baltimore, it is certainly possible that the team could entertain the idea of trading for him. He was extremely productive at Arizona State in contested-catch situations and has a skill set that could be maximized with the right coaching and opportunity. Coaches such as Tee Martin and Keith Williams could be just the right people to help Harry unlock his full potential. While Harry has time to turn things around after a slow start to his NFL career, there just isnt a lot of room on the Ravens roster for him. The additions of Watkins, Bateman, and Wallace  combined with the presence of players such as Boykin, Marquise Brown, Devin Duvernay and James Proche  make it hard for Harry to even be guaranteed a roster spot, let alone be provided with plenty of opportunities.
