3. Danielle Hunter (ER) Vikings

Completely out of context, this might be the best-case scenario for the Ravens on trade deadline. Adding a player like Hunter to the pass rushing unit would be extraordinary and put Baltimore a level above.

That being said, there might be hard to convince Minnesota to sell, even more after last weekend's victory and their chances (albeit slim) to put on a contending run this season.

"The Ravens lead the league in sacks, and edge rushers Jadeveon Clowney, Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh are playing well. David Ojabo is due back soon. Why pay what would be a significant price for another pass rusher?" questioned Zrebiec.

That's an interesting point of discussion, of course. The Ravens are already super strong in terms of applying pressure to opposing quarterbacks and they lead the league in sacks through seven weeks. Why spend big-time assets on fixing something that is not broken?

There might be some regression coming Clowney/KVN way, but that doesn't really justify spending a lot in Hunter for what could be a rental move.
