The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and Dart: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaxson Dart got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at the 151st overall pick.

If Trader Jr. 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. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
The board had cheaper options than Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 48, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in slot 79 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
They reached into another round for Donovan Edwards, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 135th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaxson Dart
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jaxson Dart in No. 151, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Mykel Williams
Value said wait; Mykel Williams in the 174th overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough in Round 6, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
They took Kyren Lacy at par in pick No. 209, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Belton this early at the 211th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
A big swing on Dante Trader Jr. at No. 225, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
