Rayshaun Benny could be one of NFL draft’s better late-round values
Late-round defensive tackle arrives in Baltimore with traits that exceed his draft slot.
Every NFL draft has a few: those players who slip further than expected. Sometimes, they land in the right situation, hopefully, and they eventually make teams wonder what they missed. For the Baltimore Ravens , this year, that player might be Rayshaun Benny.
He was added on the final day in Round 7 at pick 250 . On paper, the value is obvious. Benny was ranked No.
94 overall on Pro Football Focus’ draft board , placing him firmly in the middle tiers of this class. Among interior defensive linemen, eight prospects graded higher. The names are very familiar to football enthusiasts.
Kayden McDonald (28), Caleb Banks (32), Peter Woods (33), Christen Miller (37), Lee Hunter (39), Gracen Halton (70), Domonique Orange (72), and Darrell Jackson Jr. (79). Benny isn't among this draft's crop of elite players at the position, but he's probably in that next tier.
