Grand theft in slot 213: the Ravens steal Gordon II and grade out a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 59th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
They reached a country mile for Sai'vion Jones at No. 91, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 128 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
They barely believed it either: Riley Leonard still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Taking Ryan Fitzgerald in pick 176 is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson slipping to Round 5, Pick 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A clean, defensible pick in the 185th pick with a little surplus value in Oronde Gadsden II. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac TeSlaa well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Armstrong. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
