Top needs: G/C, OLB, WR, S, DL
Summary: The Ravens had a great weekend. Any time you move out of the first round, still get a guy with first-round talent, and he happens to fill your biggest need, you’re happy. Courtney Upshaw isn’t a gifted pass-rusher, but he does exactly what Jarret Johnson did, sealing the edge against the run. He plays with relentless energy and has the experience to start immediately. Kelechi Osemele isn’t a future starter at tackle, but moved inside you might have a player at guard. Again, that’s a big need. Bernard Pierce provides insurance in the run game, andAsa Jackson has a chance to stick in what’s already a good secondary. No stars, but really good value at the top, and needs were hit.
