With Maclin on board, do Ravens have their best weapons of Flacco era?

Joe Flacco has never really been surrounded by a ton of talent through his nine seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, which may explain his so-so statistical outputs.

However, with Monday's addition of Jeremy Maclin, his set of weapons for the 2017 season is looking pretty good.

By simply evaluating the top seven weapons the Ravens have used through four distinct stages of Flacco's career, we take a look to see if 2017 will produce Baltimore's most potent offense of the decade.

2017: The Now

Record: N/A | Offensive Ranking: N/A

Flacco's wideouts in 2017 have one defining trait - speed.

Maclin's signing gives the Ravens one of the league's fastest receiving corps, one that employs two former Pro Bowlers entering their ninth seasons. Perriman is entering a do-or-die season in his third year, but the 2015 first-rounder has shown speed, power, and the ability to make highlight-reel catches. Eric Decker is also reportedly still on the Ravens' radar after Maclin's signing.

There is no Ray Rice or Willis McGahee in this backfield, but Woodhead and Dixon (once he's served his four-game suspension) are the best combination of receiving backs Flacco has had to work with.

While the team lost Dennis Pitta to what will likely be a career-ending hip injury, they are still the deepest team in the league at tight end with former 800-yard receiver Watson, Gilmore, and 2015 second-rounder Maxx Williams.

Record: 10-6 | Offensive Ranking: 12th

The most recent season the Ravens reached the playoffs was also Flacco's most productive, with a career-high 27 touchdowns.

Speedster Torrey Smith was the only one taking the top off the defense, which equated to 11 touchdowns, but the senior Smith led the team with over 1,000 yards. While one Smith had the season of his career and the other was declining from his prime, they were the only wideouts to make an impact.

Daniels had a career-average season collecting checkdown targets after Pitta went down with a major hip injury.

Forsett may have been the talk of the town in Baltimore that season, rushing for a career-high 1,266 yards and making his only Pro Bowl.

2012: Super Bowl Season

Record: 10-6 | Offensive Ranking: 16th

To say the Ravens were led by their defense in their most recent Super Bowl victory would be an understatement, but the offense has nevertheless been remembered fondly.

Boldin provided star power and toughness to the passing attack, leading the team in yards while Smith continued to establish himself as a viable burner. Pitta was just as much a part of the passing attack as a wideout, contributing 669 yards and seven touchdowns.

While it wasn't the best of his six seasons, Rice ripped off his fourth straight campaign with at least 1,100 rushing yards and 60 receptions. Pierce chipped in with 532 yards as a rookie to keep the ground game strong and help control the clock.

2008: Flacco's Rookie Success

Record: 11-5 | Offensive Ranking: 18th

Looking at Flacco's first set of weapons might make you feel old, as none of the targets are still in the league, nor have they been in uniform any time recently.

The Ravens were very much defined by their running game and defense when Flacco was drafted, as three backs ran for over 450 yards with at least 100 carries each.

Mason was toward the end of his Pro Bowl career, but still managed to tally 1,037 yards as Flacco took the team to the playoffs as a rookie. However, he and Clayton were the only receivers to break 200 yards as the young passer opted for more handoffs and checkdowns.

Heap ended up being a benefactor of that trend, finishing third in team receptions and yards, though his numbers weren't outstanding as Flacco's lowest production understandably came as a rookie.
