Baltimore Ravens Win
Summary: Jacksonville traded OT Eugene Monroe to Baltimore for a 4th-round pick (Aaron Colvin, 114th) and a 5th-round pick (Chris Smith, 159th). Analysis: Monroe was a quality starting left tackle and was only 26 at the time of the trade. Getting a 4th and 5th for a starting LT undervalues the position significantly — tackles of Monroe's caliber command 2nd-round picks or better. Colvin became a starter, and Smith had a long career; the picks hit, but Jacksonville sold too cheaply. This is a mild loss for Jacksonville, not a neutral. Grade revised to C-.

An excellent piece of value acquisition by Baltimore. Grade: B+
