Ravens got Ravened in the NFL Draft by another team
Key Points:
- Ravens executive DeCosta was prepared to trade back in the draft and had three appealing options lined up.
- He believed he had secured a deal with an unnamed team that would let the Ravens pick in the teens while gaining extra fourth-round picks in the next two drafts.
- However, once the Ravens were on the clock, the other team unexpectedly withdrew from the agreement.
- The opposing team changed their offer to a less favorable one, leading DeCosta and the Ravens to decline the revised deal.
