They 'added' because Devin Duvernay was their leading returning wide receiver. By adding OBJ to their existing group, they brought it on par with what we THOUGHT we had. Again, MVS averaged about 600 yards/season over the previous 5 seasons and that's about what the Ravens are going to get from OBJ. MVS has a half-decade track record prior to this season of putting up about 40 YPG - this year he's at 22. There was no reasonable expectation of that happening.
And Duvernay/Toney are very similar in terms of talent/projectability.
This is just a classic "Grass is greener" scenario. The Ravens haven't done appreciably more than we have with the position. What they got is about what they expected out of OBJ and Duvernay where we HAVEN'T gotten that out of MVS/Toney.
Their guys have performed at the level expected of them. Ours haven't. We thought we had a 6-700 yard veteran receiver in MVS; they knew they didn't so they signed OBJ.
This idea that they've aggressively layered talent is just nutty.
