Hate to break it to you, but they are going 8-9 no matter what. They are either going out there with AFD as QB 1 and a hole at WR or OT or with a trade up 4th or 5th best rookie QB and holes at both WR and OT.If the Ravens trade up it will be into the top 12 to grab one of the elite WRs,
What would trading back accomplish for the Bears? They wouldn’t have a QB worth a damn, the talent would be worse, and they are still going 8-9 with no hope for the future.
Maybe adding ant mill to the trade will make it happen!Bears #20 pick is valued at 850
Bal #27 = 680
Bal #31 = 600
So that is a very imbalanced trade
If the Ravens trade up it will be into the top 12 to grab one of the elite WRs,

Trade I saw today in an article suggested that we offer the Ravens A-Rob for #27 and #31, which isn't a horrible trade - we could take a strong WR, strong OT and strong CB with those picks and our #20, or have more ammo to trade up for a top QB if one falls, Nagy likes that one, AND HE IS A GOOD VALUE. I suspect the Ravens would want a late round pick as well as A-Rob - they are getting a guy who has already had some of his prime years. But if we could pull off that trade, I'd like it.
However, the article then suggested that we offer Seattle #20, #27, #31, #1 and #2 next year and #1 in two years for Russell Wilson. 5 firsts and a second for one guy who is on the wrong side of 30? Sure, he's a great QB, but probably has 5 great years left in him, with some decline happening along the way, before he's ready to hang it up. Further, his cap hit for Seattle if traded before June 1 would be $39 million, leaving them unable to field a competitive team - they would have to cut and restructure about a third of the team to get under the cap. After June 1, there's some more play, but trading for R. Wilson is much harder than trading for Z. Wilson once he's in the league.
Or, we wait until next year, make it clear that we're interested in signing FA Wilson, and build a team that he would want to join, not strip the cupboard bare and then see if he's interested in slumming it in Chicago.
A rookie. They don’t have 100 million to pay RobinsonWhat do you think is more attractive for the Ravens: trade both 1s for a top rookie WR or offer those picks to CHI & get ARob + 2nd (net value for ARob = 18th ovrl) ?
If the rookie is good they will make up for way more deficiencies than Andy Dalton and a better roster.Hate to break it to you, but they are going 8-9 no matter what.

Well now that Orlando Brown Jr. is gone actually do have the money. The spectre of the franchise tag or massive contract (Brown Jr. will get more money than Allen Robinson II) has been lifted. The Ravens just have to secure Lamar Jackson and they are kinda set.A rookie. They don’t have 100 million to pay Robinson

Oh they definitely have the space to extend Brown Jr., they just did not want to pay two left tackles. Also, if we are to believe what was reported in February it didn't matter to Orlando Brown Jr. what they paid him he wanted to play left tackle. I kind of doubt he would turn down left tackle money if it was offered to him, though.They traded Brown because they didn’t have the cap space to extend him.

Never understood how appropriate the nick name was.Maybe adding ant mill to the trade will make it happen!

A top WR on rookie contract, no doubt
