Why the Baltimore Ravens should trade up for a wide receiver

At some point during the NFL Draft this weekend, the Baltimore Ravens are almost certain to take at least one wide receiver. Eric DeCosta has said as much and indicated he believes there should starter-caliber players available as far down as the fifth round. That syncs up with the consensus that this could challenge the 2014 receiver crop as the deepest draft class the position has ever seen.

Said consensus has made the idea of trading up for a wide receiver sound foolish and led most to believe it would be a waste of draft capital for the Ravens to go up and get someone rather than let the board fall their way.
