It's April 22nd, welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI, I'm Cory with the story. One year back, the Baltimore Ravens beefed up their roster with the draft class built on their draft in develop vibe. Standouts like safety, Maliki Starks, earned an A- for stepping up as a starter and showing real promise without stealing every headline. Kicker Tyler Loop also hit an A-, nailing 88.2% of field goals and 95.7% of extra points for A-Stayow. Reliable leg. Linebacker Teddy Buchanan grabbed a B-plus, mixing special teams' work with defensive flashes that punch above his fourth round pick. Edge rusher Mike Green got a C-plus for some past rush pops, but needs run defense tweaks. Offensive tackle Emory Jones Jr., and wide receiver La Giante Wester, both landed C's, providing depth without locking down big rolls yet. Defensive tackle Anias Peoples earned a C-plus for rotational snaps up front, fitting

the Ravens' mold. Then you got incomplete like offensive tackle Carson Vincent with just 41 snaps mostly on specials, corner Bill Hawkeone, sidelined by a brutal, MCL and ACL tear, and Robert Longerbeam hampered by injuries, too. Guard Garrett Dellinger flat out flunked with an F, waved and now elsewhere. Fans in Scouts see this class as classic Ravens, strong starters up top, projects in the middle, question marks below. No instant superstars, but the system's patient grind usually pays off, and the impact shows in their steady contention push. Heading into year two with the next draft around the corner, eyes are on Starks for that leap and a few others stepping up to turn potential into, production, keeping Baltimore's pipeline flowing strong.
