Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and Allen: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how LeQuint Allen got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at pick 185.

They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Mbow went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They read the board right and Emery Jones Jr. was the payoff at slot 136. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Karene Reid
They paid a round early for Karene Reid in Round 5, Pick 37, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick178 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 178th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at pick No. 185 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in the 205th overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in slot 213 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in the 245th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
