FutureC
The phones sank the Ravens this weekend: D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Gino Garcia; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 60 spots ahead at the 243rd overall pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
They took Jack Sawyer at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Darien Porter
They reached a country mile for Darien Porter at Round 2, Pick 16, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 68th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Logan Brown
A conviction pick on Logan Brown at slot 136 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West at pick 171 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid up for Oronde Gadsden II at the 176th pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183
Rnd6
Clay Webb
A premium they did not need to pay, Clay Webb a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 27, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at the 212th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231
Rnd7
Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in pick No. 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243
Rnd7
Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at No. 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
