Ravens discussion: should Eric DeCosta make a trade with the Colts?

Baltimore Beatdown writers debated whether Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta should pursue a trade with the Indianapolis Colts. Following the Colts' decision to fire general manager Chris Ballard amid a 2-4 start, the panel examined whether Baltimore should target impact veterans Quenton Nelson or DeForest Buckner before the upcoming NFL trade deadline.

Writer Nikhil Mehta suggested offering a Day 3 draft pick for Buckner as a half-season rental while arguing against Nelson's steep acquisition and extension costs. Dustin Cox also raised salary cap concerns regarding Nelson, while Zach Canter argued the Ravens should go all-in to acquire Nelson, and Kevin McNelis favored targeting Nelson to significantly reinforce the offensive line.
