Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B

The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Stone: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Ravens were there to profit. David Stone, the No. 10 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 45.

They are betting Weeks proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 David Stone
They barely believed it either: David Stone still on the board at Round 2, Pick 13. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
A big swing on Terrance Carter Jr. at the 80th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at No. 115 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick152 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo at pick 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at slot 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Zavier Mincey
Value with a capital V on Zavier Mincey in the 172nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Edwin Spillman
No edge and no loss on Edwin Spillman in pick No. 173; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
They took Evan Stewart at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kelby Collins
A reach on Kelby Collins in No. 252; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
