The Baltimore Ravens' offseason has been up and down with the franchise walking back on the Maxx Crosby trade, only to then sign Trey Hendrickson a day later.

They have lost Isaiah Likely and Tyler Linerbaum, leaving two holes on offense, and they hold the No. 14 pick in the upcoming draft.
Who could the Ravens take? Well, there's a host of players that will be available in positions of need for Baltimore, but what if the franchise used some draft capital to trade for a player?
That is what Fox Sports' Ralph Vacchiano is thinking in his latest thought exercise, with the Ravens sending a third-round pick this year and a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick to the New York Giants for Kayvon Thibodeaux.
"Jesse Minter is taking over a team ready for a Super Bowl run, but still too dangerously thin on the edge," Vacchiano wrote. "The Ravens could fix that by adding Thibodeaux, who is an expensive luxury for the Giants."

Could Ravens get Kayvon Thibodeaux?
Well, we know his time in New York of late has reportedly not being the best, and John Harbaugh did say everyone is tradable, so there's that.
But what the Giants would want in return is interesting.
Is what Vacchiano is proposing enough to entice the Giants to move on from Kayvon? Maybe.
The Ravens have a need, and in this scenario, they won't be giving up a first-round pick either, which is a plus.
It does feel like this is a move that wouldn't happen, but in the NFL, you never know how things will play out on draft night.
