25. Baltimore Ravens

Hayden Hurst is a good receiving tight end who can demand attention in coverage. He’s also not a good blocker at all and much older than a normal rookie. Trading back twice made it easier to stomach the pick but it still feels like the Ravens could’ve waited to get him later. Grade: C. TE. South Carolina. Hayden Hurst . 25. player. 26

26. Atlanta Falcons

WR. Alabama. Calvin Ridley . 26. player. 44. Remember what was said earlier. Putting strength on strength at a position in the NFL is never a bad thing. The Atlanta Falcons already had Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. Now they get a fast and sharp route runner like Calvin Ridley too? That’s about as good as stealing. Grade: A

27. Seattle Seahawks

36. It feels like the Seattle Seahawks are trying to get back to their roots. That means pounding the football on the ground. Drafting Penny is a hope to get them back to that, but it ignores glaring holes up front on offense along with their big losses in the secondary. He better be good. Grade: C-. RB. San Diego State. Rashaad Penny . 27. player

28. Pittsburgh Steelers

55. Terrell Edmunds is two things. He’s a tremendous athlete at safety with good size. He’s also the son of a coach with a great head on his shoulders. What he is not, at least to this point, is worthy of a 1st round pick. His tape doesn’t show it. The Steelers easily could’ve nabbed him later. Grade: D+. S. Virginia Tech. Terrell Edmunds . 28. player
