Trading back from the 16th overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft makes a great deal of sense for the Baltimore Ravens. The current crop of draft prospects includes precious few truly elite players, but boasts excellent depth with possible Day 1 starters available all the way through the end of the third round. Furthermore, the Ravens depth chart contains several pressing positional needs after the first wave of free agency; namely multiple offensive lineman, wide receiver, pass rusher and secondary depth.
Unfortunately, receiving fair compensation in exchange for the 16th pick may prove difficult.
