2017 NFL Draft: Baltimore Ravens final grade
Nico Siragusa
Guard, San Diego State
The Baltimore Ravens added a starting caliber guard in Nico Siragusa. This could allow them to move Alex Lewis over to right tackle. Siragusa is most famous for assisting his running back to become the NCAA’s all-time rushing leader. However, he also grades as an above-average pass rusher. Anytime you nail a potential starter in the fourth round, you’re doing something right. This creates a bit of a logjam at tackle, but as they say, competition breeds excellence.
Grade: A.
Jermaine Eluemunor
Guard/Tackle, Texas A&M
This is a very intriguing pick for the Ravens, especially right after drafting Siragusa. However, Jermaine Eluemunor has the potential to be a future starter for them. The main question is where will he start. Eluemunor could be either a guard or a tackle, but most likely, he’ll be a tackle. Baltimore has a huge logjam on the offensive line, so expect some cuts or trades.
Grade: B. Like the pick, but you’ve got to question why the Ravens didn’t go after a receiver.

Chuck Clark
Safety, Virginia Tech
The pick of Chuck Clark is baffling at best and maddening at worst. Baltimore has invested quite a bit of money in Erik Weddle and Tony Jefferson. Why go after a safety with a more obvious at receiver? Newsome is a genius in the draft, but this one’s a head scratcher.
Grade: D.
