Canter notes, however, the cost to acquire Aiyuk may put the Ravens out of contention.
“Roster construction-wise, the Ravens don’t oft spend on wide receivers, don’t like to trade draft picks often, never trade first-round picks for players and have repeatedly said they will need to build through the draft due to Jackson’s contract.

Big-bodied, athletic offensive tackles often get scooped up early in the draft. So why might Guyton be there for the Ravens at No. 30?
“Guyton has started just 14 games and played just 1,083 career snaps along the offensive line, according to PFF,” Shaffer…
