Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Ravens spent slot 172 on Preston Hodge, a name the board had a full 128 spots lower. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

Getting Bell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If David Bailey and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
