A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Ravens did exactly that with Khalid Duke in the 250th overall pick.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 30 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bralen Trice. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in slot 93 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A premium they did not need to pay, Mason McCormick a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Good price on Tykee Smith in pick No. 165, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at Round 6, Pick 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Frank Gore Jr. at pick 228, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at the 250th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
