On the latest installment of our divisional draft grades, we take a look at the 2019 NFL Draft: AFC North Best and Worst Picks to determine exactly where teams may hit on a tremendous player, at an even greater value and we will look at the picks where teams might have reached or misused their draft capital.

If you would like to listen to the AFC North’s Draft Grades, check out The NFL Mocks Podcast on iTunes or Stitcher.

We start with the Division winner:

Baltimore Ravens: B+

  •        Rd 1, Pick 25 (25)               Marquise Brown, WR
  •        Rd 3, Pick 22 (85)               Jaylon Ferguson, EDGE
  •        Rd 3, Pick 30 (93)              Miles Boykin, WR
  •        Rd 4, Pick 11 (113)            Justice Hill, RB
  •        Rd 4, Pick 21 (123)            Ben Powers, G
  •        Rd 4, Pick 25 (127)            Iman Marshall, CB
  •        Rd 5, Pick 22 (160)            Daylon Mack, DT
  •        Rd 6, Pick 25 (197)            Trace McSorley, QB

Best Pick: Daylon Mack, DT

Look, as much as I love Hollywood Brown, I think that’s the exact position he coveted in this draft. So, even though the Ravens got arguably the best wide receiver in this draft there at #25. I really love Daylon Mack at pick #160. This is a guy that had 5.5 sacks last season, most of which coming from the nose tackle position. Not to mention the scheme fit here in Baltimore for the thick bottom’d Mack.

Worst Pick: Miles Boykin, WR

I am all for taking a chance on a 6’4″, 220-pound wide receiver that runs a 4.42. But at least take the shot on the guy that fights for the ball in the air or has reliable hands. Boykin is neither of those.

Not saying he doesn’t have all the potential in the world right now, but I feel if you were going to take a risk on a big-bodied wideout, there were players with higher ceilings available.
