Nobody had Eric Gentry this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 108 spots to get him at slot 244.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hurst. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
Emmanuel Pregnon at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Anthony Hill Jr. slipping to the 49th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to No. 82, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Circle this one: Ted Hurst at pick 115 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Isaiah World at slot 154 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
The board had Zxavian Harris higher than pick 162, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They jumped the gun on Domani Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 33 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A conviction pick on Jeff Caldwell at No. 174 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Isaiah Jatta at the 211th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A big swing on Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Nolan Rucci at pick No. 235 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at slot 244, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Marvin Jones Jr. in pick No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They talked themselves into Adam Randall at No. 253, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
