Diesel540 DRAFTING FOR THERavens
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Ravens did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to wide receiver, which was the need that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Burke. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In No. 32 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 32: Denzel Burke for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick132
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
A slide stopped in slot 132, with Isaiah Adams worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kamal Hadden
Fair-plus on Kamal Hadden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 169th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
