Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Ravens steal Smith and grade out a A-. The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Donovan Smith, the No. 95 name on the board, sitting there at slot 159 like a gift left on the doorstep.
Reaching for Giddens left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The veteran additions, Ty'Ron Hopper chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In the end it comes back to Tahj Brooks, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick88
Rnd3
Tahj Brooks
Value said wait; Tahj Brooks in pick No. 88 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
DJ Giddens
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Giddens. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
By-the-book stuff, Daylen Everette at pick 114 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Steal is underselling it; Cade Klubnik at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jalon Daniels
They robbed the room for Jalon Daniels here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick137
Rnd4
Noah Fifita
You do not let a quarterback like Noah Fifita reach slot 137 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jake Briningstool
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Briningstool. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Donovan Smith
The board fumbled Donovan Smith all the way to the 159th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Amari Kight
Amari Kight slid further than he should have, and slot 209 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at Round 6, Pick 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237
Rnd7
Dane Key
Somehow Dane Key was still sitting there in the 237th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255
Rnd7
Deion Burks
Deion Burks in pick 255 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
