Could the Ravens be considering a trade for (insert WR here)?

I'm not too attached to draft picks.  If a proven player can be had, then I have no problem moving a pick for them.  The draft is a crapshoot anyways.  If I do move another pick though, it would absolutely have to be for a long-term option.

I think it depends on the player, but I'm not seeing anyone out there that really stands out to me..

Yeah of course.  If someone did come available though, I wouldn't have a problem moving a relatively high pick.  I think this would be more of an offseason thing though, for what it's worth.  I don't see much value in doing anything right now.

Keep the draft picks for what reason?? Great teams are built through the draft, trades and Free agency. It is knowing when to acquire a talent. Draft picks haven't yielded much to write home about. And in my opinion the offense is a #1 WR and healthy online away from being prolific.

1.We don't know where we gonna pick yet.

2. Most people traded are in contract years, why trade for a player in an already lost year just to have to sign them to a bigger deal after? Might as well just sign them as free agents without losing a draft pick.

Trading for Amari Cooper would've cost significantly more than a 1st, 2nd and 4th. The most recent trade that I recall wherein a team traded up from the mid-twenties into the beginning of the round involved a 1st, 2nd 4th from that year and a 1st and 4th from the year after. And that was for the 6th overall selection, two spots down from the 4th overall which was used to select Cooper, meaning it would've likely taken even more to pry it away. Nevermind the fact that we'll never know if Oakland had any interest in moving down in the first place. Furthermore, I'll give Lee credit in that he's looked more comfortable this season albeit in a very limited amount of snaps. That being said, I took the time out to review each of his career NFL targets thus far and it didn't seem that his inability to click with Blake Bortles had anything to do with Bortles supposedly being unable to keep up with Lee's route running. In fact, Lee seemed hesitant in his movements and rounded off his routes at times, which hindered his ability to separate. He deserves a break to some degree in that Bortles was highly inconsistent in terms of accuracy, sometimes a complete scattershot. But it didn't help that Lee failed to haul in a number of routine passes, which is why he had one of the worst drop rates in the league last season. That's not an attempt to directly put a cap on his future but rather an amendment to the assessment of his disappointing rookie campaign.

So what happened with Chris Givens, did he even see the field? It didn't seem like it. 

two targets, 0 catches.
