The Baltimore Ravens have gone from one of the most active movers in the first round to a team that hasn't made a trade in that round since their Super Bowl season.

The last time the Ravens struck a deal in the first round was 2012, when they traded out of it. The four years of remaining pat in the first round matches the longest stretch in franchise history. The only other time was the Ravens' first four drafts.

What are the chances the Ravens trade out of the No. 16 overall pick this year?

"We will evaluate that when we get to the pick," general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "It is always based on the player that is there, and then what has been offered and how far we want to go back. All of that comes into play. We have had some calls already about teams that are willing to move up to our spot, but they always qualify it by saying, 'If our player gets there.'"

Newsome is insinuating a trade-down situation, which is the more likely scenario for Baltimore. The Ravens just have seven picks (their fewest since 2010), and they have plenty of needs which include pass-rusher, wide receiver, right tackle, center, inside linebacker, cornerback and running back.

With the amount of quality pass-rushers available in this draft -- assistant general manager Eric DeCosta thinks four or five will go in the first round -- Baltimore can trade back to acquire more picks and likely land a player who can get to the quarterback. A team such as the Denver Broncos (No. 20), New York Giants (No. 23) or Seattle Seahawks (No. 26) might want to jump up to the middle of the first round to take the No. 1 offensive tackle on their draft board.

"As we will start to move forward on the day of the draft, we will have a plan that if we move back five spots, who do we have a chance to get? [Or] if we go back 10 spots?," Newsome said.

The Ravens could trade up, which nearly happened last year. Baltimore looked to move up two spots from No. 6 in order to get cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but the Ravens were only willing to give a fourth-round pick to do so (the Cowboys wanted a third-rounder).

This year, the Ravens might be motivated to jump up a handful of spots if they covet someone like Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams or Tennessee pass-rusher Derek Barnett and believe that's the only way to get them.

In the previous 10 drafts, there have been 10 instances where a team in the middle of the first round (picks Nos. 13 to 19) traded up. Those teams drafted a quarterback four times (Mark Sanchez, Blaine Gabbert, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz) and an offensive lineman twice (Branden Albert and Anthony Davis).

"The other thing that we found out last year is there may be an opportunity to move up to go and grab a player and give up one of our resources because we feel like we can take some of the other picks we have and move back and gain what we gave up," Newsome said. "So I think we'll be open, but first and foremost we've got to be ready to pick at [No.] 16."

Trading in the first round almost became a tradition for the Ravens. In a span of seven drafts (2006 to 2011), Baltimore made six moves in the first round (including trading out of the first round twice).

The Ravens, though, do have one lengthy streak going -- making a trade in 15 straight drafts. The last time Baltimore failed to do so was 2001.
