FutureC-
The Ravens went off-script early, and it cost them a F. The Phillip Webb selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 123 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Borregales pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Watts falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tetairoa McMillan. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 17th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In slot 23 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31
Rnd1
Donovan Ezeiruaku
In pick 31 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Fair-plus on Jihaad Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slid further than he should have, and the 54th pick is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56
Rnd2
Darien Porter
They reached a country mile for Darien Porter at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at the 57th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
A conviction pick on Jordan Phillips at pick No. 94 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at Round 4, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at No. 136 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd4
Andres Borregales
A curious use of slot 138. Quarterback needed the pick; a specialist in Andres Borregales did not.
Pick147
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 176 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 183 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
They liked Jay Higgins enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 197. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick203
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 203 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick227
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
A real head-scratcher, Phillip Webb in the 227th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
