And on top of that, the Ravens probably aren't even keeping all their talent next year. Both Patrick Queen and Justin Madubuike have played great, both drafted by Baltimore, and the Ravens probably can't afford to bring both of them back in 2024.

Ravens have proven to be able to draft no matter where they are drafting. I think Veach can do that too. That's why I don't see the pressing need to trade our elite players for draft picks. We can keep our talent, add to them with our original draft picks, and sign players. And I bet the ravens don't lose both players. At worst Queen will play on the franchise tag next year.
This dynamic of every elite player being unsignable because they'd cost too much and we'd rather have draft picks is crazy though. We shouldn't re-sign Sneed for elite corner money but we can sign a RT for 80m. Make it make sense.
