FutureB-
The Ravens fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Mitchell Melton at No. 249, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ramsey steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick45
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
They took Caleb Banks at par in pick 45, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49
Rnd2
Ja'Kobi Lane
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ja'Kobi Lane. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
They read the board right and Kamari Ramsey was the payoff at pick No. 80. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95
Rnd3
Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the 95th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
A clean, defensible pick in the 115th pick with a little surplus value in Chase Bisontis. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Logan Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Jones. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes at No. 152 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
A reach for Oscar Delp in the 160th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172
Rnd5
Brenen Thompson
Value with a capital V on Brenen Thompson in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick173
Rnd5
Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman in pick 173 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249
Rnd7
Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton in slot 249 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Rueben Owens II
The board had Rueben Owens II higher than the 252nd pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
