Ravens earn ‘B-‘ grade for S Geno Stone pick in 7th round

The Baltimore Ravens addressed a minor question mark with their final pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, taking Iowa safety Geno Stone at No. 219 overall.

Draft Grade: B-

This grade would have probably been a bit lower if it didn’t add some depth to the safety position, something the Ravens needed to address after the departure of Tony Jefferson.

What I’m not sold on is Stone’s lack of speed and size to be a game-changing safety in this league, but then again that’s not really what you’re looking for in the seventh round.

That said, he does have some upside as a hybrid box and coverage safety and offers an interesting option behind Chuck Clark and Earl Thomas, especially with the way Don Martindale has found ways to use various defensive backs in his schemes.
