FutureF
The Simon reach set a tone the Ravens could not shake: F. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Julien Simon at the 170th pick, roughly 293 spots before his name belonged.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In slot 1 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick2
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 2 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34
Rnd2
Carson Beck
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Carson Beck. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58
Rnd2
Mykel Williams
They talked themselves into Mykel Williams at the 58th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shemar Turner well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
They reached a country mile for Cade Klubnik at the 92nd pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at Round 4, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jalen Royals
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Royals at pick No. 127 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128
Rnd4
Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at the 128th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick139
Rnd5
Parker Brailsford
They did well to land Parker Brailsford in No. 139, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
They reached into another round for Quincy Riley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick No. 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick170
Rnd5
Julien Simon
Julien Simon at pick 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick171
Rnd5
Collin Schlee
Value said wait; Collin Schlee in the 171st pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in slot 174; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 3, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jehiem Oatis
Jehiem Oatis at the 184th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186
Rnd6
Ricky White III
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 186 with a little surplus value in Ricky White III. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Connor Colby
They barely believed it either: Connor Colby still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202
Rnd6
Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in the 202nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216
Rnd7
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Aydan White
A real head-scratcher, Aydan White in Round 7, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
