The Ravens trade out of the first round

On Thursday May 22 at 7:30pm, the Ravens had 5 drafts picks, two of which were early picks: the 25th overall pick and the 57th overall pick. After 57 they did not have a pick until the early half of the fifth round.

Well today thanks to a wise and somewhat predictable trade, the Ravens walk into the second day with seven picks. They have two picks in the second round, one in the third round, one in the fourth, two in the fifth (one of which they acquired in the Anquan Boldin trade) and one in the sixth round.

The Ravens are known for maneuvering through the draft to get the best rookies available for the best price.

So Ravens fans who like myself watch hours of the first round just to find your team trade out need no worry. It seems that the Ravens have a plan, as they always do, and they will get the most out of this draft class.
