Larceny in pick No. 185 lands the Ravens a B-, Gabriel and all.

Somebody in pick 185 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Ravens sat still while Dillon Gabriel, the No. 133 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart in pick No. 27 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea slipping to pick 59 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
No edge and no loss on Denzel Burke in No. 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Belton at the 136th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Taking Nick Nash in the 176th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They read the board right and RJ Harvey was the payoff at slot 178. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
They will replay Dillon Gabriel at Round 6, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They paid sticker price for Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 27, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the 213th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
