KW2009 DRAFTING FOR THERavens
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Slaughter from sliding. Grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jake Slaughter, pick No. 80, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 14 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45
Rnd2
Christen Miller
The board had Christen Miller higher than slot 45, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 16 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Michael Trigg worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
They paid sticker price for Jalen Farmer in pick 154, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol slid further than he should have, and the 162nd overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at pick No. 173 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Kevin Coleman Jr. reach the 174th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Josh Moten
Josh Moten in pick 211 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250
Rnd7
Andre Fuller
A tidy bit of business in the 250th pick, where Andre Fuller graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
They read the board right and Charles Demmings was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
