You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Eric O'Neill at pick 174, roughly 86 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lew. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 19th pick they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Good price on Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 45, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Lee Hunter reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Connor Lew at No. 116 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Steal is underselling it; Treydan Stukes at the 119th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A quiet steal in slot 154: Malik Benson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 162 with a little surplus value in Beau Stephens. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Demond Claiborne at Round 5, Pick 33 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They reached into another round for Eric O'Neill, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Taylen Green at pick No. 211 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
