Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Shough should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tyler Shough at No. 213 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 27 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Deone Walker reach Round 3, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They read the board right and Hollin Pierce was the payoff at the 128th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Taking Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slipping to pick 176 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A quiet steal in pick No. 178: Dorian Strong for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cobee Bryant at the 185th overall pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They robbed the room for JJ Pegues here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the 213th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in No. 245, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
