Worst case scenario

Ranked from youngest to oldest teams, the Ravens rank 25th. Years of picking up old castoffs and making poor draft picks has come home to roost and will require years of repair, even if every move made, going forward, is a good one.

If the Baltimore Ravens get the top pick in the draft, you trade that sumbitch. I want a first this year, second this year, first next year, second next year and two mid rounders between this year and next.

Nah, the Browns "Moneyball" guys will trade the pick for multiple picks that they will screw up anyway... Bc

I'm normally very opposed to trading down, especially given their "hauls" recently when doing so, but getting that kind of return for the pick, can't argue with it.

The Ravens may stink this year (I picked 7 - 9), but in no way do I see us picking 1st in the 2018 draft. Have you guys heard of the Cleveland Browns? ... Bc

1. If we get the #1 pick, Harbaugh has been fired. There's no possible scenario where he keeps his job with a season bad enough to get the #1 pick, with or without a Joe injury.

2. IF there is a QB that you're absolutely in love with and feel he's going to be an All-World player for the next 10-15 years, you draft him. You'll likely never get this opportunity again, and you can't pass it up.

3. If there isn't said QB, then you look to trade back a couple spots. I wouldn't move out of the top 5, and I'd try to stay in the top 3, so you get a shot at Barkley.

You basically pray that the teams picking 2nd and 3rd both have "fuck me eyes" for the top 2 QBs in the draft, and the guy picking 3rd wants to get their guy so bad that they're willing to move up to #1 to get him. We won't get as big of a haul as we would moving down to like #10, but you can at least get another 1st rounder out of it.

Dude....you should have the crap slapped out of you for even saying that.

Perhaps picking in the top 5 is what this franchise needs to reboot it's self. We have a roster of a good number of *base line* players.... we now need to get a few elite game changers like we did in our early years with Ray, JO, sizzle etc

If Flacco goes down which is very likely behind that line, the Ravens may not win a game.for the rest of the season.

Completely opposed to trading down and picking up multiple picks because I just.dont trust the scouting department anymore. If the Ravens are picking that early and there is a potential franchise QB available they.take him. You never pass on a franchise QB.

Four guys I want. Barkley, Jackson, Allen, or Zeus Jr.

I'd trade out of the top pick or any really high pick and acquire multiple picks. The drafting emphasis would then be on rebuilding the awful offensive line and acquiring an offensive weapon..WR,RB, TE anything. Then draft a QB some year after the Oline is rebuilt and has some talented depth.
