Larceny in slot 183 lands the Ravens a B, Tuten and all.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 154 name on the board, in No. 183.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Fidone II to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 27 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 91 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They robbed the room for Lathan Ransom here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in the 136th pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in Round 5, Pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in the 183rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at pick No. 203 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 210 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 212th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A conviction pick on Thomas Fidone II at pick 243 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
