Before each NFL Draft, trade rumors and speculation usually run rampant.
However, in 2016, the Ravens played it straight, taking 11 players and engineering only two minor draft-weekend transactions. They dropped six slots in the second round and acquired an extra pick in the fourth round.
The Ravens' goal was to improve speed and depth, and the bumper crop of 11 draft picks tied Baltimore with San Francisco for second-most in the league (Cleveland had 14).
The Ravens were showing they were going for quality through quantity.
