The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B. Nobody had Adepoju Adebawore this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 31 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Rivers to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jaeden Roberts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 80. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at the 115th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153
Rnd5
Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at slot 153 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Iheanachor at No. 161 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Adepoju Adebawore
Value said wait; Adepoju Adebawore in the 173rd pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 5, Pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Rico Flores Jr.
They read the board right and Rico Flores Jr. was the payoff at the 249th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Value with a capital V on Jack Velling in pick 252, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
