Nobody had Demond Claiborne this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 47 spots to get him at pick 115.
Getting Hall where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 14 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
They took Max Iheanachor at par in Round 2, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 80 with a little surplus value in Domonique Orange. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Value said wait; Demond Claiborne in slot 115 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Charles Demmings in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Somehow Dametrious Crownover was still sitting there in the 162nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Beau Stephens slipping to the 173rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A premium they did not need to pay, George Gumbs Jr. a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
The board fumbled Dae'Quan Wright all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They will replay Zavion Thomas at No. 250 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Circle this one: TJ Hall at pick No. 253 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
