For months, many in #RavensFlock have advocated for the #Ravens to trade up in the 1st round to selecting CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy or Henry Ruggs.

Ahead of the 2020 #NFLDraft, Lamb, Jeudy & Ruggs seem like slam dunk, no doubt picks.
But... Top 15 WRs aren't bust proof.

Selecting WRs with 1st & 3rd round picks in the 2019 #NFLDraft doesn't mean that the @Ravens shouldn't take one early in 2020.
But it is worth noting.
Using a 1st, 2nd & 3rd round pick to acquire a top WR would mean using five early round picks in two years to add WR talent.

For the sake of this argument, let's assume that the #Ravens would need to have a Top 15 pick to land one of the 2020 #NFLDraft's Top 3 WRs.
To get into the Top 15, it is likely that it would cost the @Ravens Pick #28, Pick #60 & Pick #92 (or a package of similar value).

The 2020 #NFLDraft's WR group is unusually deep.
Daniel Jeremiah has 18 WRs on his Top 100 board.
A quote from @Ravens GM Eric DeCosta:
"We think this year that there’s a really good chance to get a guy that can probably be a starter for you in the fifth round of the draft".

The @Ravens have 5 of the Top 106 picks in the #NFLDraft.
In a draft with great depth in the 1st two days, the #Ravens five early picks are extremely valuable.
Those picks could land them players ready to start in 2020 or 2021.
They should be VERY hesitant to trade them away.
