FutureF
The board had answers; the Ravens had Simon. Grade: F. The Ravens did not so much draft Julien Simon as overpay for him, 263 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.
Judkins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
The veteran additions, Zion Johnson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In the 24th pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection.
Pick25
Rnd1
Will Campbell
Will Campbell in pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60
Rnd2
DJ Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Campbell at No. 60. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A real head-scratcher, Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
Taking Jahdae Barron in pick No. 89 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110
Rnd4
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in No. 110, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 125th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at slot 126 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
They barely believed it either: Elic Ayomanor still on the board at the 135th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
Fair-plus on Bear Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174
Rnd5
Benjamin Morrison
A big swing on Benjamin Morrison at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ben Yurosek
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ben Yurosek well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176
Rnd6
Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 176, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
Matthew Sluka
They reached into another round for Matthew Sluka, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Barrett Carter
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Barrett Carter. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184
Rnd6
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They jumped the gun on Ar'maj Reed-Adams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200
Rnd6
Julien Simon
Julien Simon at pick No. 200 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick211
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
By-the-book stuff, Quincy Riley at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 214th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 221 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at the 222nd pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach No. 240 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 252nd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
