4. If you could take one player from the Jaguars to put on the Ravens, who would you take?

"It broke my heart when you guys got Jalen Ramsey but I’m going to say Allen Robinson. Flacco loves big play-making wide receivers. After seeing what he could do with Anquan Boldin, just imagine how good Robinson could be as a Raven."

My take:

Despite struggling a bit over the first two weeks, people are still high on Allen Robinson. It’s a bit concerning that he was shutdown by Damarius Randall in the opener and then Jason Verrett last week, but Robinson is too good to be held in check every week. Given how slow the Jaguars have started this season, it’ll be interesting to see if the offense comes out with guns a’blazing in the first quarter with some deep passes to Robinson.

Speaking of deep balls, it would be pretty scary to pair Flacco’s ridiculous arm talent with Robinson’s ability to win contested passes down the field. Luckily the Ravens don’t have anyone with that kind of talent catching passes heading into this game.
