Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore acquired two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Philadelphia for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick. The Ravens add a proven, versatile interior starter under contract through 2029, but the second-round price is substantial and makes this a win-now bet that Jurgens can stabilize the middle of the line.

The Giants acquired defensive lineman C.J. Okoye from Baltimore for a 2028 seventh-round pick, with the deal finalized during roster cutdowns. Okoye appeared in 13 games for the Ravens in 2025 and reunites with head coach John Harbaugh and defensive line coach Dennis Johnson. New York gets the current-read edge because a distant seventh is a small price for a young developmental lineman with real NFL snaps and direct scheme familiarity.

Baltimore sent undrafted rookie tackle Diego Pounds to Kansas City on August 29, 2026 and received a conditional Day 3 selection whose year depends on the Chiefs' available draft inventory. The Ravens turned a player who was not certain to make their final roster into future draft capital. The exact selection remains conditional, so Baltimore's return is valuable but not yet fully defined.

Baltimore moved up to No. 133 for Matthew Hibner, giving up No. 154 and a 2027 sixth-round pick. Hibner made the Ravens' initial 53-man roster, which gives Baltimore a real developmental asset but not yet an established regular-season return. With the 2026 season only beginning, there is not enough completed NFL production to assign Baltimore a meaningful advantage.

Baltimore acquired Dre'Mont Jones from Tennessee on November 4, 2025 for a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick that settled at No. 142 and became Fernando Carmona. Jones produced 2.5 sacks in nine Ravens games, giving Baltimore useful veteran pass-rush snaps without a premium cost. Tennessee converted a short-term veteran into a young draft asset.

Philadelphia acquired Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Baltimore for a 2026 sixth-rounder, but Alexander never played a snap for the Eagles after the trade and was placed on the Reserve/Retired list less than two weeks later. Baltimore still secured pick No. 211, later used on Ryan Eckley. Philadelphia later recovered money and cap credit, softening the damage, but the football return clearly favors the Ravens.

Los Angeles acquired edge rusher Odafe Oweh and a 2027 seventh-round selection from Baltimore for safety Alohi Gilman and a 2026 fifth-round pick. Oweh produced 7.5 sacks in 12 games for the Chargers, supplying immediate pressure at a premium defensive position. Baltimore received Gilman and used pick No. 162 on Chandler Rivers, preserving two roster assets in the exchange.

Baltimore traded Nos. 136 and 183 to Tennessee in the 2025 draft for Nos. 141 and 178, turning the exchange into Carson Vinson and Bilhal Kone. The Ravens stayed in roughly the same portion of the board and added two developmental players. After one completed season, though, their pair has produced less realized value than Tennessee's Elic Ayomanor and Marcus Harris, putting Baltimore behind for now.

The Jets received pick No. 176 in the 2025 draft and a 2026 sixth-rounder from Baltimore for pick No. 186 and a 2026 fifth-rounder. New York used No. 176 on Tyler Baron, while Baltimore used No. 186 on Tyler Loop; the future selections later became part of additional draft movement. The exchange paired a ten-slot current move with a one-round future adjustment, supporting an Even Trade and matching C grades.

Baltimore acquired veteran cornerback Tre'Davious White and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Rams for a 2026 seventh-round pick. White appeared in seven regular-season games for the Ravens and provided experienced secondary depth without requiring meaningful draft capital. Los Angeles recovered a slightly earlier late-round selection for a player outside its plans, but Baltimore received the more useful immediate football value.

Carolina sent Diontae Johnson and a 2025 sixth-round pick to Baltimore for a 2025 fifth-round pick, effectively moving up a round while exiting a short-lived receiver relationship. Johnson caught only one pass for six yards as a Raven, was suspended after refusing to enter a game and was waived in December. The Panthers therefore gained the better draft position while Baltimore received almost no usable return.

The Jets acquired veteran tackle Morgan Moses and pick No. 134, used on Braelon Allen, while Baltimore received picks 113 and 218 for Devontez Walker and Devin Leary. Moses started 14 games for New York in 2024 and Allen supplied 482 yards from scrimmage as a rookie. Walker has flashed big-play ability, scoring four touchdowns on seven career catches through 2025, which improves Baltimore’s return but still leaves the Jets ahead.

Baltimore Ravens received 2023 7th round pick (229th overall, Andrew Vorhees). Baltimore used the 2023 No. 229 selection on Andrew Vorhees. After recovering from the knee injury that affected his draft position, Vorhees developed into a multi-season starter and made 17 starts in 2025. Vorhees developed into a materially more valuable original-team return than Watson's early Cleveland contribution, so Baltimore owns the stronger result. That outcome supports an A- grade for Baltimore Ravens.

The Jets sent Baltimore a 2024 seventh-round pick for veteran safety Chuck Clark. Clark tore his ACL before playing in 2023, but New York re-signed him and received 12 starts, 69 tackles, a sack and an interception in 2024. Baltimore used No. 228 on center Nick Samac and also gained cap space. The injury delayed New York's payoff, yet one starting season for a seventh-rounder still gives the Jets a slight edge.

Baltimore acquired Roquan Smith from Chicago at the 2022 deadline for A.J. Klein, a 2023 second-round pick and a 2023 fifth-rounder. Smith quickly became the centerpiece of the Ravens defense and earned top-level honors after the move. Chicago used the premium pick on Gervon Dexter and added Noah Sewell, so the Bears recovered meaningful young talent, but Baltimore obtained the proven star and won the deal.

Arizona acquired Marquise Brown and pick No. 100 from Baltimore for the 23rd pick in the 2022 draft. Baltimore immediately traded down to No. 25 and added No. 130, turning those selections into Tyler Linderbaum and Jordan Stout. Brown gave Arizona useful receiving production but stayed only two seasons, while Linderbaum became a foundational Ravens center. Baltimore's downstream return makes this a clear Ravens win.

Buffalo sent picks 25 and 130 to Baltimore to move up two spots for cornerback Kaiir Elam. The Ravens stayed in the first round and drafted center Tyler Linderbaum, then used No. 130 on punter Jordan Stout. Linderbaum made three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2023 through 2025, and Stout earned his first in 2025. Elam started only 12 games for Buffalo before being traded to Dallas. Baltimore won overwhelmingly.

Baltimore Ravens received 2022 4th round pick (110th overall, Daniel Faalele) in the 2021-08-31 exchange with New York Giants. Daniel Faalele developed into a substantial Ravens offensive-line contributor and starter from the No. 110 selection. The realized value remains close enough to support an even result.

Miami acquired offensive lineman Greg Mancz and a 2022 seventh-round pick from Baltimore for a 2022 sixth-round selection. Mancz supplied immediate depth, and Miami later used pick No. 224 on Cameron Goode. Baltimore used the higher No. 196 choice on Tyler Badie. The modest player and draft returns on both sides never created enough separation for a clear winner.

Baltimore received a 2022 seventh-round choice and a 2023 fifth-round choice. The Ravens later moved both selections through additional transactions, preserving flexibility and extracting continued value from two pieces of draft capital rather than relying on one player to develop. That result supports a B grade within the Baltimore Ravens Win verdict.

Arizona sent picks 160 and a 2022 fourth to Baltimore for Nos. 136 and 210, selecting Marco Wilson and Victor Dimukeje. Wilson started extensively over his first three seasons and intercepted three passes in 2022 before being released late in 2023; Dimukeje developed into a useful rotational edge defender. Baltimore's Shaun Wade was traded before his rookie season, while Charlie Kolar became a reserve tight end with 30 catches for 409 yards through 2025. Arizona received more total defensive value.

Kansas City acquired Orlando Brown Jr., a second-round pick that became Nick Bolton, and later pick value from Baltimore for a package built around the No. 31 pick. Brown gave the Chiefs immediate left tackle help, started on a Super Bowl champion, and Bolton became a major defensive piece. Baltimore got useful value with Odafe Oweh, but Kansas City landed the stronger championship-era return.

Baltimore Ravens received Josh Oliver in the exchange with Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Oliver became a useful Baltimore tight end and started nine games in 2022 while contributing 149 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Against Jacksonville Jaguars' return of 2022 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Daniel Hardy), that outcome supports a B grade. The transaction is judged as Baltimore Ravens Win, with the mark based on the football value that actually followed from the deal.

Minnesota sent Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore after only six games, receiving a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 fifth. The Ravens got three sacks in nine regular-season games before Ngakoue left in free agency. Minnesota used the third-rounder on Patrick Jones II, who recorded 12 sacks across four Vikings seasons, including seven in 2024, while the fifth became part of later draft movement. The Vikings clearly recovered more value.

Minnesota traded picks No. 201 and No. 219 in the 2020 draft to Baltimore for No. 225 and a 2021 fifth-rounder. The Vikings selected Kenny Willekes and later Zach Davidson; Baltimore used its choices on James Proche and Geno Stone. Stone became the difference-maker, developing into a productive safety and recording a seven-interception season for Baltimore in 2023. Minnesota's return never approached that level of impact.

New England moved up for No. 60 and also received No. 129, sending Baltimore picks No. 71 and No. 98. The Patriots selected Joshua Uche at 60, while the Ravens landed Justin Madubuike at 71 and Malik Harrison at 98. Uche produced a breakout pass-rushing season, but Madubuike became a Pro Bowl and All-Pro defensive tackle and a long-term defensive cornerstone for Baltimore.

Pittsburgh sent Baltimore a 2021 fifth-round pick for defensive lineman Chris Wormley and a 2021 seventh-rounder. Wormley became a useful Steelers rotational lineman and produced a career-best seven sacks in 2021, while Pittsburgh used the seventh-round selection on punter Pressley Harvin III. Baltimore moved the fifth-round asset again, but its downstream return did not match the multi-season service Pittsburgh received from both incoming pieces.

Atlanta sent picks No. 55 and No. 157 to Baltimore for tight end Hayden Hurst and pick No. 134, which the Falcons used on Jaylinn Hawkins. Hurst gave Atlanta two productive seasons, but Baltimore used No. 55 on J.K. Dobbins and converted the fifth-rounder into additional trade value. The Ravens gained the stronger long-term return while Atlanta received a useful short-term starter.

Baltimore acquired Calais Campbell from Jacksonville for the 157th pick in the 2020 draft. Campbell spent three seasons with the Ravens, appearing in 41 games with 113 tackles, 11 sacks and 36 quarterback hits while making the 2020 Pro Bowl and serving as a defensive leader. Jacksonville used the fifth-round pick on safety Daniel Thomas, who became a durable special-teams contributor but only a spot defensive starter. Baltimore received considerably more impact.

The Rams traded cornerback Marcus Peters to Baltimore in October 2019 for linebacker Kenny Young and a 2020 fifth-round pick. Peters immediately strengthened a contending Ravens defense, intercepting five passes in nine regular-season games and earning first-team All-Pro recognition. Young developed into a useful Rams linebacker, including six starts in 2020, but his Los Angeles impact remained much smaller.

Baltimore received New England's 2020 fourth-round choice, which ultimately became the No. 129 slot before being moved again. That was the most valuable single piece in the transaction and gave the Ravens stronger draft capital to work with. That result supports a B- grade within the Baltimore Ravens Win verdict.

Minnesota sent Baltimore a 2020 fifth-round pick for kicker-punter Kaare Vedvik after his strong 2019 preseason. Vedvik struggled after the trade and was waived before the regular season, so he never appeared in a game for the Vikings. Baltimore converted a specialist unlikely to make its roster into draft capital that later became defensive tackle Broderick Washington.

Baltimore Ravens received 2020 7th round pick (225th overall subsequently traded, Kenny Willekes) in the 2019-08-05 exchange involving New York Jets. Baltimore received late-round draft capital for a player it was ready to move, but the return stayed at the low end of the draft-value spectrum. That realized return supports a C grade for Baltimore Ravens. The overall verdict is New York Jets Win, with the grade based on direct value created from this transaction.

Minnesota sent pick No. 93 to Baltimore and received Nos. 102, 191 and 193. The Vikings selected Alexander Mattison, Marcus Epps and Oli Udoh, extracting several seasons of useful roster value from the three selections. Mattison served as Dalvin Cook’s primary backup before becoming the starter in 2023, while Udoh provided multi-position offensive-line depth. Baltimore used No. 93 on Miles Boykin, whose receiving impact remained limited.

Baltimore Ravens received 2019 1st round pick (25th overall, Marquise Brown); 2019 4th round pick (127th overall, Iman Marshall); 2019 6th round pick (197th overall, Trace McSorley) in the 2019-04-25 exchange with Philadelphia Eagles. Marquise Brown supplied the strongest sustained direct value from the exchange, while Iman Marshall and Trace McSorley gave Baltimore two additional selections from the move down. The direct package is the basis for the hindsight grade, with later movement of an acquired selection treated separately. That supports Baltimore Ravens Win.

Denver sent the 113th pick in the 2019 draft to Baltimore for Joe Flacco, hoping the veteran quarterback could stabilize the position. Flacco started only eight games for the Broncos, throwing for 1,822 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions before his season ended. Baltimore used the pick on Justice Hill, who became a long-running Ravens back and special-teams contributor. The durability and retained value make Baltimore the clear winner.

Baltimore Ravens received Ty Montgomery. Baltimore received Ty Montgomery, whose Ravens tenure was brief and did not create a lasting role. That result supports a C- for Baltimore Ravens. The overall comparison favors Green Bay Packers, leaving Baltimore Ravens on the weaker side of the exchange. The grade reflects the realized player service and draft value tied directly to this transaction, without assigning extra credit for outcomes that cannot be traced confidently to the exchanged assets.

Baltimore Ravens traded Kamalei Correa to Tennessee for a 2019 sixth-round pick that Baltimore later moved and that ultimately became No. 191, Marcus Epps. Because the Ravens did not directly turn the choice into a comparable long-term contributor, their realized return was limited. Correa became a useful Titans defender, so Baltimore receives a C in the final comparison.

Baltimore moved down from No. 152 and received Nos. 162 and 215. Jordan Lasley provided little, but Bradley Bozeman became a four-year Ravens contributor who played 62 games and started 49, including 16 starts in each of his final three Baltimore seasons. Bozeman's sustained offensive-line role gave the Ravens a strong return from the move down.

Kansas City sent Baltimore picks No. 86 and No. 122 to move up to No. 75 and select defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi. Kansas City moved up for Derrick Nnadi, a durable interior defender who became part of multiple championship teams. Baltimore moved back and landed Mark Andrews plus Kenny Young. Andrews became a first-team All-Pro, multi-time Pro Bowler and one of the most productive receivers in Ravens history. Nnadi made the deal worthwhile for Kansas City, but Andrews creates the decisive edge.

Oakland sent Baltimore picks No. 75, No. 152 and No. 212 to move up to No. 65 and select tackle Brandon Parker. Oakland traded three picks to move to No. 65 for Brandon Parker, who became a useful swing tackle and made 33 starts for the Raiders. Baltimore turned the package into a chain that included Mark Andrews and Bradley Bozeman, with Andrews becoming a first-team All-Pro and one of the franchise's leading receivers. The Ravens extracted dramatically more long-term value.

Baltimore moved from No. 22 to No. 25 in 2018, sending Tennessee a sixth-rounder and receiving a fourth-round pick. The Ravens selected Hayden Hurst at No. 25 and later used the acquired fourth-round asset in the package that brought back the 32nd pick for Lamar Jackson. Hurst himself was eventually traded to Atlanta for valuable draft capital. Tennessee selected Rashaan Evans, a four-year starting linebacker, producing a solid but less expansive return.

Buffalo moved from No. 22 to No. 16 for linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, sending Baltimore a third-round pick and swapping a fifth-rounder into the deal. Edmunds became an immediate starter, made two Pro Bowls and spent five seasons directing the Bills’ defense. Baltimore’s return became even larger through subsequent moves, helping create the picks used on Hayden Hurst, Mark Andrews, Kenny Young and other players while also feeding the later Lamar Jackson trade package.

Baltimore's trade up for Lamar Jackson gave the Ravens a two-time MVP without paying a massive draft price. Philadelphia received useful value that became real contributors, but Baltimore landed the rare quarterback who changed the shape of the franchise. The Ravens won because Jackson became a unique offensive centerpiece. Philadelphia made a defensible pick-value move, but Baltimore acquired the player who remade its offense.

Baltimore Ravens Baltimore acquired Luke Bowanko for veteran offensive-line depth in 2017. His role was limited, but he supplied immediate roster utility to a team seeking interior line options. The supported hindsight grade is B-. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Jacksonville Jaguars, the final verdict is Even Trade.

Arizona traded offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom to Baltimore in September 2017 for a conditional 2018 seventh-round pick. The condition was not met, so no draft selection ultimately moved to the Cardinals. Bergstrom appeared in four games for Baltimore before being released later that season. The deal therefore produced little lasting value for either club, and the historical record should preserve the conditional right without falsely treating pick No. 238 as conveyed.

Jacksonville jumped from No. 38 to No. 36 for Myles Jack, sending Baltimore No. 38 and No. 146. Jack became a long-term Jaguars starter and made the move worthwhile. Baltimore still won the value battle: it later moved No. 38 again and used No. 146 on Matt Judon, who developed into a Pro Bowl edge defender and recorded 34.5 sacks for the Ravens.

Miami sent picks No. 42 and No. 107 to Baltimore to move up four spots for Xavien Howard. Howard became a four-time Pro Bowler, a first-team All-Pro and one of the league's most productive interception creators during his Dolphins tenure. Baltimore drafted Kamalei Correa and Chris Moore with the return; both became NFL contributors, but neither approached Howard's impact. Miami turned a modest trade-up into a franchise-level defensive back.

Miami traded cornerback Will Davis to Baltimore for a conditional 2016 seventh-round pick that became No. 227. Davis appeared in only two games before tearing his ACL in October 2015 and played just a handful of games for Baltimore overall. Miami later packaged the acquired pick in a draft-day move that helped the Dolphins select Jakeem Grant. Turning a departing depth corner into usable draft leverage gave Miami the better result.

Arizona moved down three spots in the 2015 second round, sending No. 55 to Baltimore for Nos. 58 and 158. The Ravens selected tight end Maxx Williams, while the Cardinals landed edge rusher Markus Golden and later used the fifth-rounder on Shaquille Riddick. Williams became a useful NFL tight end, but Golden's pass-rush production gave Arizona the strongest outcome by a wide margin.

Denver acquired center Gino Gradkowski and Baltimore's 2016 fifth-round pick, No. 144, while sending the Ravens its 2016 fourth-rounder, No. 130. Denver used No. 144 on Connor McGovern; Baltimore used No. 130 on Alex Lewis. Gradkowski was short-term depth, McGovern became a useful NFL lineman, and Lewis also contributed as a starter. Baltimore's higher pick produced solid value, but Denver's two-asset return keeps the margin modest.

Detroit acquired Haloti Ngata and Baltimore's 2015 seventh-round pick, No. 231, while the Ravens received Detroit's fourth-round No. 122 and fifth-round No. 158. Baltimore used No. 122 on Za'Darius Smith; Nos. 158 and 231 were later moved again. Detroit landed a proven star, but Baltimore's younger, cheaper return and Smith's value give the Ravens the stronger outcome.

Dallas acquired Rolando McClain and a 2015 seventh-round pick for a conditional 2015 sixth-rounder. McClain returned from retirement and immediately started 12 games for a 12-4 Cowboys team, providing badly needed linebacker play. Baltimore’s sixth-round selection became No. 204, Darren Waller, while Dallas’ seventh became Laurence Gibson. Waller’s later stardom came after Baltimore released him, so Dallas retains the stronger team-specific return.

Baltimore Ravens received 2014 7th round pick (218th overall, Michael Campanaro) in the 2014-05-10 exchange with Cleveland Browns. Campanaro provided several seasons of receiving and return value for Baltimore, a useful result from the 218th selection. That gives Baltimore Ravens the stronger overall return. The transaction still produced a concrete basis for the hindsight grade.

Baltimore acquired center Jeremy Zuttah for a 2015 fifth-round pick and received 41 starts over three seasons, including Pro Bowl recognition in 2016. Tampa Bay used the pick on receiver Kenny Bell, who never appeared in a regular-season game for the Buccaneers. The Ravens solved a starting-line need at a minimal draft cost, while Tampa Bay received virtually no on-field return.

Miami acquired veteran tackle Bryant McKinnie from Baltimore in October 2013 for a conditional 2015 seventh-round pick. The condition was triggered when McKinnie made ten starts for the Dolphins, so Miami did receive needed short-term line help. Baltimore, however, had already replaced him and recovered an asset that later became part of the Haloti Ngata trade package. The Ravens get a narrow edge rather than a landslide.

Jacksonville dealt left tackle Eugene Monroe to Baltimore for 2014 fourth- and fifth-round selections that became Aaron Colvin and Chris Smith. Monroe immediately filled a major Ravens need and later re-signed, but injuries limited the long-term payoff. Colvin developed into a multi-year starter for the Jaguars and Smith added rotational pass-rush value. The quantity and duration of Jacksonville’s return give the Jaguars a modest hindsight edge.

Indianapolis and Baltimore exchanged two players on the edge of their respective rosters in August 2013: the Colts received receiver and returner David Reed, while the Ravens acquired running back Delone Carter. Baltimore waived Carter before the regular season, and Indianapolis released Reed in November after a limited special-teams role. Neither club received lasting value.

Indianapolis traded center A.Q. Shipley to Baltimore for a conditional 2014 seventh-round pick that became No. 232, used on tackle Ulrick John. Shipley appeared in all 16 games for the Ravens in 2013 and started the final nine before being waived the next summer. John spent his rookie year on injured reserve and never played a regular-season snap for Indianapolis, leaving Baltimore with the better realized return.

Seattle sent pick No. 56 to Baltimore and received Nos. 62, 165 and 199. The Seahawks selected Christine Michael at No. 62, then used the two later selections in a separate trade with Detroit. Baltimore chose linebacker Arthur Brown at No. 56. Brown never developed into the defender Baltimore expected, while Seattle retained three distinct assets and found some value from Michael and the later trade package, giving the Seahawks the edge.

San Francisco acquired Anquan Boldin from Baltimore for a sixth-round pick immediately after Boldin helped the Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII. He became the 49ers’ leading receiver in 2013 with 85 catches, 1,179 yards and seven touchdowns, then re-signed and remained productive for two more seasons. Baltimore’s pick No. 199 was moved in another draft trade. The enormous difference in direct team value makes this a decisive 49ers win.

Baltimore sent picks No. 91 and No. 164 to Atlanta to move up seven spots for Bernard Pierce. Pierce immediately became Ray Rice's primary backup and contributed 532 rushing yards as a rookie during the Ravens' Super Bowl championship season. Atlanta selected Lamar Holmes and Jonathan Massaquoi, both of whom provided some starting or rotational snaps. The Falcons found usable players, but Pierce's early production on a title team gives Baltimore the stronger return.

Minnesota sent picks No. 35 and No. 98 to Baltimore for No. 29 in the 2012 draft and selected safety Harrison Smith. Smith became a six-time Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro and long-term defensive leader for the Vikings. Baltimore used the incoming selections on Courtney Upshaw and Gino Gradkowski, both useful contributors, but neither matched Smith's peak or longevity.

Buffalo moved veteran receiver Lee Evans to Baltimore for a 2012 fourth-round pick that became cornerback Ron Brooks. Evans played only nine regular-season games for the Ravens and caught four passes for 74 yards before his Baltimore tenure ended. Brooks became a multi-year depth and special-teams contributor, giving Buffalo the better return even though the pick did not become a major starter.

Philadelphia moved down five spots in the third round and received an extra sixth-round choice, then used that bonus pick on Jason Kelce. Kelce started all 193 games of his Eagles career, made seven Pro Bowls, earned six first-team All-Pro selections and won a Super Bowl. Baltimore got tackle Jah Reid, making this one of the clearest draft-day trade wins in Eagles history.

St. Louis acquired receiver Mark Clayton and a 2011 seventh-round pick from Baltimore for a 2011 sixth-rounder. Clayton started fast with 23 catches for 306 yards and two touchdowns in five games before a knee injury ended his 2010 season, then barely played in 2011. Baltimore used No. 180 on Tyrod Taylor, who became a four-year backup and later a long-time NFL starter elsewhere, giving the Ravens the better result.

Baltimore received the 225th pick in the 2011 draft and selected Anthony Allen. Baltimore received the 225th pick in the 2011 draft and used it on Anthony Allen. Allen appeared in twenty-one games for the Ravens over two seasons and contributed on special teams, giving Baltimore tangible roster value from a seventh-round selection. It was a modest payoff, but it exceeded what Philadelphia received from Barnes. In hindsight, that result supports a C+ grade for Baltimore Ravens in a deal ultimately judged as Baltimore Ravens Win.

Baltimore Ravens received Josh Wilson from Seattle Seahawks, sending 2011 5th round pick (157th overall subsequently traded, Doug Hogue) the other way. Wilson gave Baltimore useful cornerback snaps, while Seattle's realized draft return was limited, so the Ravens keep the stronger grade. That outcome supports a B grade for Baltimore Ravens, and the overall verdict is Baltimore Ravens Win.

Seattle traded cornerback Josh Wilson to Baltimore just before the 2010 season for a conditional 2011 selection that became a fifth-round pick, No. 157 overall. The Seahawks recovered useful draft capital while reshaping a secondary under a new regime. The choice was later moved, limiting the direct player return Seattle can claim from the original transaction.

Baltimore Ravens received Doug Dutch in the exchange with Washington. Its C grade reflects the practical value of that return relative to the package surrendered and the hindsight result. The grade remains tied to documented value for the acquiring club, without assigning credit for unresolved or hypothetical downstream consideration.

Denver sent Baltimore three picks, Nos. 43, 70 and 114, to move up to No. 25 in 2010 and select Tim Tebow. Tebow produced a memorable 2011 playoff run and an overtime postseason win, but he lasted only two seasons in Denver. Baltimore turned the package into Sergio Kindle, Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta. Kindle was a miss, yet Dickson and Pitta became productive tight ends. The Ravens received the broader long-term return.

Baltimore acquired Anquan Boldin and a fifth-round pick for third- and fourth-round selections, then watched Boldin become a dependable playoff receiver and a central figure in the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII championship. Arizona used the third-rounder on Andre Roberts and later moved the fourth-round pick, receiving some useful value but no comparable star. The fifth-rounder Baltimore received became Arthur Jones, adding another contributor to an already lopsided return.

New England acquired linebacker Prescott Burgess from Baltimore for a conditional 2010 seventh-round pick. Burgess was inactive for his only Patriots game and was waived six days after the trade, so the condition was not satisfied and Baltimore received no draft compensation. Burgess soon returned to the Ravens, leaving little lasting value for either club.

Green Bay acquired defensive back Derrick Martin from Baltimore for offensive lineman Tony Moll just before the 2009 season. Both players supplied depth for their new clubs, but neither became a high-impact long-term starter or created a meaningful secondary asset trail. The teams addressed different roster needs without producing a clear value gap, making an even C/C result appropriate.

Denver moved picks No. 149 and No. 185 to Baltimore for No. 141, using the higher selection on wide receiver Kenny McKinley. Baltimore turned the two incoming choices into Davon Drew and Cedric Peerman. None became a major starter for the acquiring club, but Peerman built a lengthy NFL career as a reserve and special-teams contributor. Baltimore's two-player return created slightly more durable value than Denver's move-up.

New England and Baltimore swapped four selections during the 2009 draft. The Patriots received Nos. 123 Rich Ohrnberger and 198 Jake Ingram, while the Ravens received Nos. 137 Jason Phillips and 141. None of the direct selections became a major long-term value driver for the team that acquired it, keeping the exchange close to even.

Baltimore moved from No. 26 to No. 23 in the 2009 draft and selected tackle Michael Oher, who started every regular-season game across five Ravens seasons and contributed to the Super Bowl XLVII championship team. New England received picks No. 26 and No. 162, then immediately converted them into a broader pool of selections that supported several later roster moves.

Baltimore acquired veteran defensive lineman Marques Douglas for an undisclosed 2009 draft choice and a conditional 2010 selection. Douglas provided immediate roster value, while the exact downstream benefit of Tampa Bay's draft compensation is limited in the available record. The C grade reflects a reasonable veteran acquisition without enough separation to move this exchange beyond an Even Trade verdict.

Baltimore acquired cornerback Fabian Washington from Oakland for the 125th pick. Washington immediately started 12 games in 2008 and remained a significant Ravens defensive back for three seasons, totaling 30 starts. Oakland selected receiver Arman Shields at No. 125, but injuries prevented him from appearing in a regular-season NFL game. The Ravens received several seasons of starting cornerback play and won decisively.

Baltimore moved from No. 26 to No. 18 and selected Joe Flacco, while Houston received No. 26, No. 89 and No. 173 and drafted Duane Brown, Steve Slaton and Dominique Barber. Flacco became a long-term Ravens franchise quarterback and Super Bowl XLVII MVP. Brown became an elite Texans left tackle and Slaton delivered an outstanding rookie season. Both teams created franchise-changing value.

Jacksonville made one of the boldest moves of the 2008 draft, climbing from No. 26 to No. 8 for defensive end Derrick Harvey and surrendering picks 71, 89 and 125. Harvey never developed into the edge cornerstone the Jaguars expected. Baltimore recycled the haul into a series of moves that helped secure Joe Flacco and other contributors, making the Ravens the overwhelming winner.

Baltimore traded the 38th pick to Seattle and received Nos. 55 and 86, selecting Ray Rice and Tom Zbikowski. Seattle chose John Carlson, who gave the Seahawks useful receiving production at tight end. Carlson was a legitimate contributor, but Rice became an elite on-field weapon during his peak and Zbikowski added more value from the second acquired pick. The Ravens clearly won the football exchange.

Detroit traded picks No. 74 and No. 101 to Baltimore for No. 61 and selected safety Gerald Alexander. Alexander gave the Lions useful early starting snaps but did not become a long-term fixture. Baltimore selected Yamon Figurs at No. 74 and later packaged No. 101 with two other choices to acquire No. 86, where it drafted future All-Pro guard Marshal Yanda. Because other picks were required, Yanda cannot be credited solely here, but Baltimore created the stronger overall value.

Jacksonville sent the 86th pick to Baltimore for Nos. 101, 166 and 203, giving the Ravens the selection they used on guard Marshal Yanda. The Jaguars turned the later picks into punter Adam Podlesh, defensive tackle Derek Landri and, after another move, safety Daren Stone. Podlesh and Landri supplied useful service, but Yanda's eight Pro Bowls and championship career made Baltimore the overwhelming winner.

Baltimore acquired Willis McGahee from Buffalo for 2007 picks No. 92 and No. 239 plus a 2008 third-rounder that became No. 71. McGahee gave the Ravens four productive seasons and a Pro Bowl year. Buffalo selected Trent Edwards, received little from C.J. Ah You, and later used the future third as a major piece of the Marcus Stroud trade. Both clubs turned the exchange into substantial multi-year value.

Indianapolis acquired rookie defensive end Ryan LaCasse from Baltimore for a 2008 seventh-round pick shortly before the 2006 season, a low-cost exchange centered on depth and special teams. Neither side gained a cornerstone. Indianapolis received short-term depth on a title team, while Baltimore recouped a future late-round choice, making the exchange essentially balanced.

Baltimore reacquired safety Gerome Sapp from Indianapolis for a conditional 2007 seventh-round pick, adding an experienced special-teams player and reserve defensive back to a contending roster. The deal did not alter either franchise dramatically, but Baltimore obtained the more tangible on-field service from a player who already knew its system.

Baltimore acquired Steve McNair from Tennessee for a 2007 fourth-round pick and immediately solved a quarterback problem that had limited an elite defense. McNair started all 16 games in 2006, went 13-3, threw for 3,050 yards and helped the Ravens earn a first-round bye. The cost became receiver Chris Davis, whose Tennessee career produced only seven catches for 69 yards.

New York moved up 12 spots in the second round on April 29, 2006, sending Baltimore picks No. 56 and No. 87 for No. 44. The Giants selected Miami wide receiver Sinorice Moss. He played 37 regular-season games over four Giants seasons, starting only twice and catching 39 passes for 421 yards and three touchdowns. Moss also returned 24 kickoffs for 465 yards, but the trade-up never produced a durable offensive role.

Baltimore turned the move down into Chris Chester at No. 56 and David Pittman at No. 87. Chester became the centerpiece, beginning a 169-game NFL career with substantial Ravens service, while Pittman added seven Baltimore games, one start, and two interceptions. The two-pick package therefore produced both useful depth and a long-lived offensive lineman, giving Baltimore strong aggregate value.

Baltimore moved up one spot from No. 13 to No. 12 in the 2006 draft and selected Haloti Ngata, sending Cleveland the 13th pick plus No. 181. The Browns landed Kamerion Wimbley and Babatunde Oshinowo. Wimbley became a productive edge defender, but Ngata developed into a five-time Pro Bowler, two-time first-team All-Pro and Super Bowl champion.

Baltimore moved up to No. 64 for tackle Adam Terry, sending New England picks 84 and 195 in 2005 plus a 2006 third-rounder. Terry gave the Ravens several seasons of starting and reserve line play, so the move was not empty. New England landed starting corner Ellis Hobbs and retained additional draft capital that fed later trades, producing the stronger overall return.

Baltimore acquired wide receiver Kevin Johnson from Jacksonville for the 120th pick in the 2004 draft. Baltimore acquired wide receiver Kevin Johnson and received one season of modest receiving production. Johnson gave the Ravens a veteran option, but the stay was short and did not create a major long-term payoff. The return was serviceable rather than empty, which supports a respectable grade even though Jacksonville clearly did better. In hindsight, that result supports a C grade for Baltimore Ravens in a deal ultimately judged as Jacksonville Jaguars Win.

Miami sent the 153rd pick in the 2004 draft to Baltimore for picks No. 160 and No. 222. The Ravens selected linebacker Roderick Green, who appeared in 25 games for Baltimore and recorded two sacks before continuing his career in San Francisco. Miami selected Tony Bua and Derrick Pope; Pope alone played 55 games for the Dolphins. The extra depth and longer team contribution give Miami a modest win.

Minnesota moved down six spots in the third round of the 2004 draft, sending Baltimore pick No. 82 and receiving Nos. 88 and 155. The Ravens chose receiver Devard Darling, while the Vikings selected defensive lineman Darrion Scott and linebacker Rod Davis. Scott became a regular rotational defender, giving Minnesota the better overall return.

San Francisco and Baltimore agreed on March 4, 2004 to exchange Terrell Owens for Baltimore's 2004 second-round pick, No. 51. The agreement did not survive the Owens contract dispute. A March 16 settlement overturned that deal, returned the second-round pick to Baltimore, and redirected Owens to Philadelphia, so the original 49ers-Ravens exchange produced no lasting transfer.

Baltimore Ravens Baltimore received the conditional 2004 seventh-round choice that became No. 210 and later moved the pick. The late-round asset retained some value but did not exceed Jacksonville's immediate veteran contribution. The supported hindsight grade is C. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Jacksonville Jaguars, the final verdict is Jacksonville Jaguars Win.

Baltimore traded a 2003 second-round pick and its 2004 first-rounder to New England to move up to No. 19 for quarterback Kyle Boller. Boller became a multi-year starter but never established himself as the long-term answer. New England later used Baltimore's 2004 first-round pick on Vince Wilfork, a franchise cornerstone, making the Patriots the decisive long-term winner of the exchange.

Baltimore moved down from the 96th pick in the 2002 draft and received selections that became punter Dave Zastudil and tight end Terry Jones. Denver used No. 96 on defensive tackle Dorsett Davis, whose NFL career lasted only 14 games. Zastudil became Baltimore’s regular punter for four seasons, while Jones supplied additional depth, giving the Ravens substantially more realized value from the exchange.

Washington moved from pick 52 to 56 in the 2002 second round, sending Baltimore selections 52 and 96 for picks 56, 87 and 159. The Ravens selected defensive lineman Anthony Weaver at 52 and later moved pick 96, while Washington drafted Ladell Betts, Cliff Russell and Andre Lott. Betts became a productive multi-year back in Washington, giving that larger three-pick return the advantage.

Denver moved down from No. 10 to No. 15 and added the 45th pick, turning the return into cornerback Deltha O’Neal and safety Kenoy Kennedy. O’Neal played 132 NFL games and intercepted 34 passes, while Kennedy played 115. Baltimore used No. 10 on Travis Taylor, who produced 4,017 receiving yards in his career. The extra starter makes Denver the clear winner.

Minnesota sent veteran lineman Everett Lindsay to Baltimore during the 1999 draft and received the 185th selection, a sixth-round pick used on defensive lineman Talance Sawyer. Lindsay started all 16 games for the Ravens in 1999, while Sawyer developed into a rotational Vikings defender and recorded 11 career sacks. Both clubs obtained real, useful value, making an even B- result more fitting.

Atlanta traded its 2000 first-round pick to Baltimore for the 42nd selection in 1999, using that second-rounder on tight end Reggie Kelly. The future pick became No. 5 overall after the Falcons fell to 5-11, and Baltimore used it on Jamal Lewis. Lewis became the centerpiece of the Ravens' 2000 Super Bowl offense and later rushed for 2,066 yards in a season, turning the deferred pick into overwhelming value.

Baltimore Ravens received Tony Banks. Tony Banks started eighteen games across two Baltimore seasons and provided meaningful quarterback play before the Ravens changed direction during the 2000 championship season. Compared with Los Angeles Rams' return, the result supports a B grade and fits the Baltimore Ravens Win verdict.

Baltimore Ravens received 1999 6th round pick (185th overall subsequently traded, Talance Sawyer) in the 1999-04-17 exchange with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baltimore moved the acquired No. 185 pick to Minnesota for veteran lineman Everett Lindsay, who started all sixteen games for the Ravens in 1999. Against Tampa Bay Buccaneers' return of Eric Zeier, that outcome supports a B grade. The transaction is judged Baltimore Ravens Win, with the mark tied to the football value that actually followed from the deal.

Baltimore Ravens received Lovett Purnell. Baltimore received Lovett Purnell, who appeared in two games for the Ravens and provided a small but real regular-season return. That result supports a C- for Baltimore Ravens. The overall comparison favors Baltimore Ravens, which produced the stronger realized return. The grade reflects the realized player service and draft value tied directly to this transaction, without assigning extra credit for outcomes that cannot be traced confidently to the exchanged assets.

Detroit traded veteran quarterback Scott Mitchell to Baltimore for the 72nd pick in 1999 and a 2000 fifth-round selection. The Lions later moved both picks in separate transactions, preserving flexibility without drafting directly from either slot. Mitchell joined a Baltimore quarterback room that also added Tony Banks and never became a long-term starter, leaving both clubs with modest realized returns.

Baltimore Ravens received 2000 5th round pick (148th overall, Richard Mercier) from Los Angeles Chargers, sending Jim Harbaugh the other way. San Diego clearly received more realized value. That outcome supports a D+ grade for Baltimore Ravens, and the overall verdict is Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win.

Indianapolis traded picks 104, 124 and 154 to Baltimore for the 93rd pick in the 1998 draft and selected offensive lineman Steve McKinney. McKinney started all 60 games he played for the Colts and finished a 10-year career with 143 games and 133 starts. Baltimore received three later selections and additional flexibility, but none of the direct return matched the long-term starting value Indianapolis found at No. 93.

Baltimore sent pick No. 104 to Tampa Bay in 1998 for a 1999 third-round selection. The Ravens later packaged that future third in the trade for quarterback Scott Mitchell, who spent only one season in Baltimore. Tampa Bay used No. 104 on Todd Washington, a reserve interior lineman who provided several seasons of roster value. The exchange stayed modest, with a slight hindsight edge to Tampa Bay.

Baltimore acquired running back Errict Rhett from Tampa Bay for a 1999 third-round pick. Rhett gave the Ravens two seasons, including 852 rushing yards and five touchdowns in 1999. Tampa Bay did not simply keep the future pick; it later sent the same selection back to Baltimore for a 1998 fourth-rounder. Both clubs extracted usable value, leaving the original exchange close to even.

Baltimore acquired veteran quarterback Jim Harbaugh and the 93rd pick from Indianapolis on February 17, 1998, sending the Colts picks 71 and 104. Harbaugh started 12 games for the Ravens in 1998, while Indianapolis used No. 71 on receiver E.G. Green and later moved No. 104 in another trade. Neither side created major long-term value from the original exchange, making the deal a balanced veteran-for-draft-capital swap.

Baltimore Ravens Baltimore acquired Bernard Dafney, but he appeared in only one game before his Ravens tenure ended. That minimal return leaves Baltimore well behind the value Pittsburgh preserved in the acquired draft asset. The supported hindsight grade is D. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Pittsburgh Steelers, the final verdict is Pittsburgh Steelers Win.

Baltimore acquired guard Ben Cavil from Philadelphia for a 1999 seventh-round pick in August 1997. Cavil immediately became useful line depth, appearing in 15 games with eight starts in 1997 and all 16 games with six starts in 1998. Baltimore got two seasons and 14 starts from a low-cost acquisition before Cleveland selected Cavil in the 1999 expansion draft.

Denver acquired veteran left tackle Tony Jones for the 58th pick in the 1997 draft. Jones became a cornerstone on both Broncos Super Bowl championship teams and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 1998. Baltimore used the pick on safety Kim Herring, who became a legitimate NFL starter and later won a Super Bowl with the Ravens. Both clubs received high-quality value suited to their timelines.

Denver sent the 55th pick to Baltimore for Nos. 65, 100 and 213. Baltimore selected cornerback DeRon Jenkins, who played 93 NFL games and became a useful professional. Denver used its three picks on Detron Smith, Jeff Lewis and Leslie Ratliffe. Smith became a Pro Bowl special-teams player and two-time Super Bowl champion with Denver, giving the Broncos the strongest team-specific return from the package.

Baltimore Ravens received 1997 4th round pick (118th overall, Tyrus McCloud). Baltimore received Dallas' 1997 fourth-round choice, which became Tyrus McCloud. McCloud appeared in 23 games for the Ravens and provided the only meaningful regular-season contribution produced by the exchange. McCloud's 23 Ravens games clearly exceeded the return Dallas realized from McDaniel, giving Baltimore the better outcome without requiring a date change. That outcome supports a B- grade for Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore acquired guard Jeff Blackshear from Seattle for a 1997 fourth-round pick. Blackshear immediately became a regular starter for the new Ravens, starting 44 games from 1996 through 1998 and giving Baltimore dependable interior-line play. Seattle gained future draft flexibility, but the pick was later moved again, leaving the Ravens with the clearer direct football return from this exchange.
