The Ravens land in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Oluwafemi Oladejo this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 179 spots to get him at the Round 2 slot.

The Felton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in pick 91, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Taking Tai Felton in Round 4, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A tidy bit of business in the 136th overall pick, where Jacob Parrish graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
The board fumbled Pat Bryant all the way to the 176th pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 178 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 205th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at pick No. 213. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
