Larceny in slot 136 lands the Ravens a B-, Wilson and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jared Wilson at No. 136 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If Hassanein pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick 27 they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick59 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They paid up for Cameron Williams at the 59th pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 91st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at slot 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in No. 136 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A reach for Vernon Broughton in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 183. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Addison West
The board had cheaper options than Addison West at Round 6, Pick 27, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ahmed Hassanein
They reached a country mile for Ahmed Hassanein at pick 210, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
A conviction pick on Alex Mastromanno at the 212th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 243, where Isaac TeSlaa graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
