Ravens First Round options: Trade up, stay put or trade down

New general manager Eric DeCosta has remodeled the reigning AFC North champion Ravens with bold decisions since the 2019 league year began. After inheriting a roster with more coveted unrestricted free agents than available salary cap space, he chose to supplement a talented group of defensive backs with elite safety Earl Thomas rather than pay C.J. Mosley, Terrell Suggs or Za’Darius Smith for continuity at linebacker. Baltimore also lost starting receivers John Brown and Michael Crabtree, as DeCosta opted to fortify the rushing attack with Nick Boyle and Mark Ingram.
