bdaabat DRAFTING FOR THERavens
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Giddens. Final grade: B-. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how DJ Giddens got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at No. 212. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Fortune has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In No. 27 they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot.
Pick59
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
They liked Cameron Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 59. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at slot 91, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at Round 4, Pick 27 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 136th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick No. 176 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 183rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Fair-plus on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Simeon Barrow Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Simeon Barrow Jr. a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212
Rnd6
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in Round 6, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 243rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
