Ravens declined 8 different trades for No. 30 pick; DeCosta praises team manager of data and decision science

The Baltimore Ravens were not interested in trading their pick with Nate Wiggins available at No. 30 overall.

The option to trade down was always on the table for Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta. That is until Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins was available at No. 30 overall.

If that wasn’t convincing...
