The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Ravens watched Sam Hecht slide 28 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Payne pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
Kenyon Sadiq in the 18th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 32
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 45, where Chris Johnson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel Pregnon in No. 49, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 89
Ted Hurst at Round 3, Pick 16 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 87
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Sam Hecht in pick 115, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Kaytron Allen · RB · rank 147
Fair-plus on Kaytron Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
R5.22 · Pick 162 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 146
Isaiah World in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.24 · Pick 164 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 155
A slide stopped in slot 164, with Zxavian Harris worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 173 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 178
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Elarms-Orr went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · VJ Payne · S · rank 196
A real head-scratcher, VJ Payne in pick No. 174 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.34 · Pick 250 · Logan Taylor · OG · rank 260
They paid up for Logan Taylor at slot 250 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.37 · Pick 253 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 242
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Heidenreich at the 253rd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
