Jalen Ramsey Is The Solution That Will Never Happen For The Ravens. Unless…
Let’s face it. Jalen Ramsey isn’t coming to the Baltimore Ravens if the Ravens don’t trade up to get him. The question becomes whether or not he is worth trading up for. With the clock ticking down, let me give you my quick argument, why the Ravens should think about it.

The Ravens secondary has been a problem for the past few seasons. The Ravens cornerback position is the weakest spot on the Ravens roster. We want to believe that Eric Weddle will magically fix the secondary. Weddle is just part of the solution, but the problem is still unsolved.
When you do an equation you have to do the same thing on both sides of the equation to find x. In this equation x represents the Ravens answer to their secondary woes. You added to Weddle yet the Ravens cornerback problems still remain. If you add Ramsey to the other side of that equation, are the Ravens problems solved?

Adding Ramsey at the cornerback position would give the Ravens a solid pairing (a potentially great) pairing at the cornerback position. A healthy Jimmy Smith is a lights out playmaker. Ramsey will be a shut down cornerback. With Weddle and Ramsey added to the team, the Ravens pass defense would be improved dramatically.
Imagine a close game with the Bengals ending with an interception instead of a long pass by the Bengals that should have never happened. Imagine how much easier going against Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown would be if the Ravens drafted Ramsey.
Ramsey would be a game changer for the Ravens. They haven’t had an opportunity to draft a player that could dramatically change everything in a long time. As much as the Ravens struggled last season trading up is probably the only way to get Ramsey.
The Ravens have the ammunition to trade up. They can make it happen. If they draft Ramsey, I truly believe that they’ll get the solution to their problems. The Ravens have no intention of rebuilding. This is a team that thinks it can compete for a championship. Ramsey would help them be a contender.

Its not going to happen. It isn’t the Ravens style. But it would be worth it. Ramsey is the difference maker the Ravens need, and the only way to get him is to make it happen.
