The Baltimore Ravens were active in the first round of this year’s draft. They locked up top-flight safety Kyle Hamilton before flipping the 23rd pick like they were on HGTV. Baltimore traded Marquise Brown and this year’s No. 100 pick to the Cardinals to move into the first round, before trading No. 23 to the Bills for No. 25 and No. 130. They would then use No. 25 to draft center Tyler Linderbaum, thus replacing Bradley Bozeman, who went to the Panthers.
It’s the kind of messy first round that’s impossible to predict, unless of course it comes to you in a dream. Such is the case for Reddit user /u/goeers81, who completely saw the moves coming.
Pay attention to said timestamp. This user saw it coming a month ago, and even gave themselves an out by “not saying it will come true.” A little couching is always a good thing, and in this case it was just right.
The move makes sense for the Ravens. Linderbaum is a very strong prospect at center, and he could make an immediate impact on that offensive line. Hamilton, meanwhile, is one of the most highly-touted athletes in this year’s draft. The Ravens will be able to move him around the defense to their heart’s content.

This is the most clairvoyant NFL-related dream since Sporting News’ Jacob Camenker dreamed Ryan Tannehill’s exact halftime stat-line during a Dolphins vs. Patriots game in 2013. (Do not ask if Jacob Camenker asked for that statement in this post.)
NFL teams are so unpredictable, dreaming this up is kind of bizarre. If only Vegas had a betting line for this kind of projection.
Even if it makes sense on paper, Ravens fans must be asking /u/goeers81 if a Lamar Jackson extension has come to them yet.
