Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Ravens fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the first time in franchise history, the Ravens were set to trade a first-round pick for a veteran player. But Baltimore backed out of the Maxx Crosby deal, returning the No. 14 selection in this year\u2019s draft and their 2027 first-rounder back to Eric DeCosta cache of picks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Ravens\u2019 willingness to move the 14th overall pick \u2013 a higher-than-usual slot for them \u2013 reflect this year\u2019s relatively weak draft class. There may not be a true top-15 player available when Baltimore is on the clock. So with Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence requesting a trade, should DeCosta make a move? If he does, should the 14th pick be in play \u2013 potentially as a \u2018Godfather\u2019 offer that can beat other teams who are drafting later in the first round \u2013 or is the Pro Bowl nose tackle only worth a package of Day 2 picks?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let us know in the survey below, and share your additional thoughts in the comments section!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL.
