#8 Baltimore Ravens: Mike Evans, WR TAMU (Acquired from Raiders for 17th pick + second round pick)
Rory’s Take: After a trade down and picking up a third round pick and a fifth round pick the Raiders trade down again with the Ravens and this time add a second round pick. With these extra picks the Raiders actually have the opportunity to back up their veterans with rookies and make the long term changes they need. Here the Ravens add a new Boldin.
Chase’s Take: Rory keeps having the Raiders trade down and McKenzie will pick up another pick for doing so while the Ravens ensure that they get Evans who could learn under Steve Smith while developing into a promising possession threat in the NFL.
