There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Mason Reiger, 33 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Orange steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 18 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 45 with a little surplus value in Emmanuel Pregnon. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A quiet steal in No. 57: Max Iheanachor for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Taking Keionte Scott in pick No. 80 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Domonique Orange at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Mason Reiger in Round 4, Pick 15 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A slide stopped in the 154th pick, with Isaiah World worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Demond Claiborne at pick No. 163 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A tidy little value on Nate Boerkircher in slot 165, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 34 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Bobby Jamison-Travis at pick 211 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid a round early for Jack Kelly in No. 239, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Nice patience on Brent Austin, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Jatta at the 253rd overall pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
