      <title>Ravens eyeing wideouts</title>
      <description>Though the Baltimore Ravens have struggled to find a top-notch quarterback since relocating from Cleveland 12 years ago, the Ravens also have had precious few talented wideouts.

Four years ago, that almost changed with the attempted acquisition of Terrell Owens.  They've also had a couple of cracks at Randy Moss over the years, but have never made a serious run at him.

Instead, they've relied on the draft, which has yielded largely forgettable names like Jermaine Lewis (fifth round, 1996), Pat Johnson (second round, 1998), Brandon Stokley (fourth round, 1999), Travis Taylor (first round, 2000), Ron Johnson (fourth round, 2002), Lamont Brightful (sixth round, 2002), Javin Hunter (sixth round, 2002), Devard Darlin (third round, 2004), Mark Clayton (first round, 2005), Demetrius Williams (fourth round, 2006), and Yamon Figurs (third round, 2007).

Currently, the roster consists of Figurs, Williams, Clayton, Matt Willis, and Derrick Mason.

And so the Ravens are apparently looking for an upgrade in the 2007 draft.  Per Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times, the Ravens will meet privately with receiver James Hardy of Indiana and Oklahoma receiver Malcolm Kelly.  Also, the Ravens reportedly spent time with receiver Devin Thomas of Michigan State at the Scouting Combine.

The Ravens hold the eighth overall pick in the 2008 draft &#8212; probably too high for any of the guys in this year's draft pool.</description>
