One man’s trash is Eric DeCosta’s treasure: how Josh Oliver can help the Ravens get their mojo back

In a shell-shocking blowout loss to the Tennessee Titans after securing the first No. 1 AFC playoff seed in franchise history, the Baltimore Ravens had to make some difficult decisions.

Seemingly, one of those was to trade former first-round pick Hayden Hurst to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for their 2020 second-round pick, the 55th overall selection. The Ravens used that selection on running back J.K. Dobbins, who had the third highest EPA/carry in the NFL last season (min. 100 carries) according to Sports Info Solutions. That pick also gave the Ravens security to trade down from the 60th pick, five picks later, which netted them Justin Madubuike (71st overall) and Malik Harrison (98th overall) — two promising young defenders, in hindsight.
