The Baltimore Ravens made a splash in the 2025 NFL Draft, particularly in the sixth round where they added five new players to their roster. One of the standout additions was Lahjontay Wester, a former Colorado wide receiver who caught the eye of scouts with his speed, despite not having a standout college career. Wester, who was selected as the 203rd overall pick, is seen as an undersized receiver who may need to prove himself on special teams to secure a spot in the NFL.
Following the Ravens’ selection of Wester, fans took to social media to express their opinions. Some were critical of the pick, suggesting that Wester’s success in college was largely due to playing under the guidance of Deion Sanders and questioning his potential in the NFL. One fan even went as far as to compare Wester to CFL talent, casting doubt on his ability to succeed at the professional level.
Others voiced their disappointment that the Ravens did not select a more established wide receiver, such as Jimmy Horn Jr., in the draft. It’s clear that there are mixed opinions among the fan base regarding the team’s choices in the draft, especially when it comes to selecting wide receivers outside of the first round.
Overall, the addition of Lahjontay Wester and the other draft picks will be closely watched by Ravens fans as they hope to see these young players make an impact on the team. Only time will tell if Wester can prove his critics wrong and carve out a successful career in the NFL.
