Should the Baltimore Ravens trade future draft pick for better players in 2016?

In 2003, the Ravens traded their second round pick and their first round pick in 2004 for the right to draft Kyle Boller at #19 overall. The Ravens had already made an excellent selection in 2003 by picking Terrell Suggs at #10 with their natural first round pick, but the decision to reach for Boller cost the organization dearly. The Ravens not only wasted several seasons of excellent defense with Boller at quarterback, but the future pick given to New England became #21 in 2004.

With the 21st pick in the 2004 draft, the Patriots selected All-Pro nose guard Vince Wilfork, who served as a lynchpin in New England's defense for eleven seasons.
