Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Ravens a B-, Harden and all.

When a board-topper like Myles Harden slides to the 250th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Ravens did not.

If Worthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In No. 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 62nd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick93 Rnd3 DJ James
They let DJ James come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in slot 130, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 29. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick218 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in pick 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A quiet steal in the 228th overall pick: Garret Greenfield for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick250 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Circle this one: Myles Harden at pick No. 250 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
