The Ravens robbed the room for McCord. Final grade: B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle McCord, the No. 120 name on the board, stolen at the 210th pick.
They are betting Simpkins III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 27th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at Round 2, Pick 27 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
A real head-scratcher, Luke Kandra in slot 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
A quiet steal in pick 136: Jacob Parrish for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd5
Luke Elzinga
They talked themselves into Luke Elzinga at No. 176, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick183
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 183rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210
Rnd6
Kyle McCord
They will replay Kyle McCord at the 210th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212
Rnd6
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in the 243rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
