The written portion of Perriman's synopsis for those who the link is exclusionary to.

5. Breshad Perriman, WR, Baltimore Ravens
This is a bit of a wild-card pick, given that Perriman is a little raw as a prospect, and he wasn't selected until the No. 26 overall pick. But Perriman is a high-ceiling player who landed in an ideal spot in terms of scheme fit and a roster on which he will have a chance to produce right away.

The Ravens re-signed RB Justin Forsett and return all five starters along an offensive line that paved the way for the league's fourth-ranked rushing attack the past season. This should create plenty of one-on-one, big-play opportunities for Perriman down the field off play-action, where he has the size and speed to be a difference-maker.

While Perriman had his share of drops at UCF, the majority of those passes were in the short to intermediate area, and he was much more efficient tracking vertical throws or winning in contested 50-50 situations. That makes him a great match for QB Joe Flacco, who is one of the best deep-ball throwers in the league.
