The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Ahmed Hassanein went at pick No. 176, a good 62 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Pearce Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
