The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Julien Simon; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 252 spots ahead at the 211th pick.
They banked enough surplus on Judkins to cover a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In No. 24 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Aeneas Peebles
Nice patience on Aeneas Peebles, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
A wild overpay on Zy Alexander in pick No. 89, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in Round 4, Pick 24 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
A conviction pick on Jaeden Roberts at slot 135 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
No edge and no loss on Bear Alexander in pick 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 174th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176
Rnd6
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 176 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184
Rnd6
Barrett Carter
They read the board right and Barrett Carter was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
A reach on J.Michael Sturdivant in slot 200; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd6
Julien Simon
Julien Simon at pick 211 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222
Rnd7
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 222nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240
Rnd7
Collin Schlee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Collin Schlee. It fills a real need, too.
