Baltimore Ravens Urged to Trade First-Round Pick for Superstar Receiver
The Baltimore Ravens hold the 14th pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Still, there’s always a chance they won’t use the pick. Trades are always possible and the Ravens could slide up or down the draft board.
Or, they could trade outside of the first round.

Recently, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report highlighted some potential trade outcomes that could happen in the draft. In doing so, he suggested the Ravens could trade the 14th overall pick to the Cowboys in exchange for superstar receiver George Pickens, who is coming off a career-high 1,429 receiving yards. Pickens is also heading into the final year of his contract, leading some to wonder 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 perfect 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. He could also enjoy the opportunity to face the Pittsburgh Steelers team that dumped him a year ago.”
While it’s tough to part with the 14th overall pick, coming out of the draft with a proven receiver like Pickens would be worth the price. The question is: Would the Cowboys really be willing to part ways with one of their best players?
Some think so, but others think the Cowboys won’t fumble during contract negotiations this time around.
