Ravens tried moving up

The Baltimore Ravens had conversations with the St. Louis Rams today in an attempt to move up to the No. 2 pick to land Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan.
Baltimore failed to land the pick because the Rams' asking price was too high.
"To make the statement that we had conversations with the team ahead of the (Atlanta) Falcons would be a true statement," Newsome admitted during his press conference in Baltimore.
St. Louis wound up taking Virginia defensive end Chris Long with the second pick. Baltimore made two trades, before settling at No. 18 to select Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco. The Ravens gained an additional third- and fourth-round pick in the process.
