FutureA
The Ravens let Lauck fall and pounced. Final grade: A. You build a draft on nights like this. Trevor Lauck had no business being available in No. 257, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, with Carter Smith leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Carter Smith
Steal is underselling it; Carter Smith at the 45th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Duce Robinson
Circle this one: Duce Robinson at pick 76 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80
Rnd3
Ahmad Hardy
A running back of that caliber at slot 80 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Justin Scott
Justin Scott in the 85th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They robbed the room for Cayden Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson at pick No. 113 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Brendan Sorsby
Brendan Sorsby in No. 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Iapani Laloulu
The board fumbled Iapani Laloulu all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159
Rnd5
Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at pick No. 159 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Brice Pollock
Taking Brice Pollock in No. 160 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172
Rnd5
Teitum Tuioti
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Teitum Tuioti in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173
Rnd5
Solomon Tuliaupupu
You do not let an edge rusher like Solomon Tuliaupupu reach the 173rd pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles in Round 5, Pick 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick214
Rnd6
A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at the 214th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Wyatt Young
They will replay Wyatt Young at pick 220 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
Somehow Austin Siereveld was still sitting there in slot 221, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at pick 224 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231
Rnd7
Peter Clarke
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Peter Clarke in slot 231, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Will Heldt
They barely believed it either: Will Heldt still on the board at No. 249. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Darian Mensah
Somehow Darian Mensah was still sitting there in pick No. 252, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Trevor Lauck
The board fumbled Trevor Lauck all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
