The Ravens are set to make the 16th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft April 27. But when that No. 16 slot comes up, will it still belong to Baltimore?
General manager Ozzie Newsome said he has already been taking calls from teams looking to trade up to No. 16, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Ravens trade back and acquire more picks in what is considered a deep draft.
"We have had some calls already about teams that are willing to move up to our [No. 16] spot," Newsome said at the team's pre-draft news conference earlier this month, "but they always qualify it by saying, 'If our player gets there.'"
Wheeling and dealing during the draft has been part of the Ravens' DNA. Baltimore has made at least one trade in 15 straight drafts; 2001 is the only draft in team history that did not involve at least one draft deal.
