I wish I could provide you a stronger "hot take" regarding the Ravens not making another trade before this year's deadline. It would sure as hell make for a better column if I genuinely felt like the Ravens did the right thing by choosing not to pay a premium for pass rush help or if I thought they truly failed themselves by standing pat.
But I don't feel either of those things. Which is presumably the reason why we're having this conversation.
If it's hot takes you're here for, the best I can give you is more like "the center of the hot pocket after the second time you run it through the microwave and then have to let it cool because the rest of it is so damn hot it's inedible." My most significant take is that if the Ravens don't win the Super Bowl this season, it will most directly happen because of their total lack of a consistent pass rush.
