Baltimore Ravens Urged to Trade First-Round Pick for Superstar Receiver

The Baltimore Ravens have the 14th overall pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Yet, there’s always a chance that they won’t use the selection. Trades are always possible, and the Ravens could slide up or down the draft board.

Or, they could trade outside of the first round altogether. Recently, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report highlighted some potential trade outcomes that could play out during the draft. While doing so, he suggested the Ravens could trade the 14th overall pick to the Cowboys in exchange for superstar wide receiver George Pickens, who’s coming off a career-high 1,429 receiving yards.

Pickens is also headed into the final year of his contract, which has some wondering if Dallas would be open to a blockbuster trade offer. “Replacing Pickens with a receiver like Kevin Concepcion or Omar Cooper Jr. —on a rookie contract—would make plenty of financial sense,” Knox wrote.

“Snagging Pickens would make sense for a team like the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore could use a legitimate No. 1 receiver, and Pickens would certainly fill that need.
