You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Jack Pyburn at pick 211, roughly 79 spots before his name belonged. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hurst.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 17
Kenyon Sadiq in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
They let Chris Brazzell II come to them and pounced at the 45th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 72
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Treydan Stukes at No. 80. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Connor Lew · C · rank 84
A tidy bit of business in the 97th pick, where Connor Lew graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 89
Ted Hurst in pick No. 115 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · J.C. Davis · OT · rank 142
They liked J.C. Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 125. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.14 · Pick 154 · Demond Claiborne · RB · rank 165
A reach on Demond Claiborne in No. 154; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.22 · Pick 162 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 157
Zxavian Harris in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 173 · Beau Stephens · OG · rank 161
Beau Stephens at slot 173 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.34 · Pick 174 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 183
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at the 174th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.30 · Pick 211 · Jack Pyburn · LB-EDGE · rank 290
A real head-scratcher, Jack Pyburn in the 211th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
