FutureA+
The Ravens found their guy under center in Mendoza: D. The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Kalil Alexander went at the 195th pick, a good 48 picks before the board was ready.
They have staked the next five years on Fernando Mendoza, which is the only story that really matters here. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
The Weigman steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
CJ Allen
Nothing to complain about; CJ Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick65
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the 65th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in slot 85 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
They read the board right and Chandler Rivers was the payoff at the 101st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
A big swing on Derrick Moore at pick No. 112, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at slot 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118
Rnd4
Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. at No. 118 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
They did well to land Jude Bowry in the 136th pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Rodriguez. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at Round 5, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173
Rnd5
Monroe Mills
No edge and no loss on Monroe Mills in Round 5, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in pick 186 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193
Rnd6
Josh Moten
They paid sticker price for Josh Moten in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Kalil Alexander
They reached a country mile for Kalil Alexander at pick No. 195, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
Good price on Brett Norfleet in the 247th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
A'Marion Peterson
A straight-up fair deal on A'Marion Peterson at No. 249, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman at the 251st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
They took Hykeem Williams at par in slot 254, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
