UPDATE: Ravens finalize deals with all 10 draft picks

Devin Duvernay became the last Ravens draft pick to sign his rookie deal. 

The wide receiver reached terms with the team just a couple of hours after Patrick Queen signed his contract. 

That means Baltimore has signed all 10 players selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Ravens rookies can report to the practice facility in Owings Mills, Md. July 21,

Here's a recap of the picks with the post-draft grades:

Round 1 (28th overall): Patrick Queen, LB, LSU

Queen has the talent to make an immediate impact in Baltimore because of his speed and physicality. He was ranked third on the Tigers with 77 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks over 14 games last season. Queen, who is being compared to Giants linebacker Ryan Connely by several draft analysts, is a three-down linebacker. Baltimore was ecstatic he fell to them at 28. Grade A

Round 2 (55th overall): J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State

The Ravens didn't need a running back with Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill already on the roster. But DeCosta pounced when Dobbins fell to them in the second round. Dobbins set a Buckeyes record with 2,003 rushing yards during his final season in 2019, breaking the previous mark of 1,927 held by Eddie George in 1995. Dobbins finished his career with 4,459 rushing yards, 796 receiving yards and 43 touchdowns.

Round 3 (71): Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M

During those two years, he had 22 tackles for losses and four forced fumbles. He also adds a young presence to a veteran-laden defensive line with Calais Campbell, Derek Wolfe and Brandon Williams. Grade B+

Round 3 (92): Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas

Duvernay provides quarterback Lamar Jackson with another weapon in the slot. Duvernay had 106 receptions for 1,386 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He was third in the nation in receptions and second in receptions per game (8.1). In an early-season game against LSU, he caught 12 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. He was a key target for Baltimore in this year's draft. Grade A-

Round 3 (98): Malik Harrison, LB, Ohio State

The Ravens found another play-making linebacker with Harrison, who ed the Buckeyes with 75 tackles and added 4.5 sacks, 16.5 tackles for losses and four pass breakups as a senior. Harrison ranked third in ProFootballFocus.com’s run-stop percentage, a metric that essentially measures impact tackles. Grade B+

Round 3 (106): Tyre Phillips, OL, Mississippi State

He'll make the switch from tackle to guard and compete for a starting role. Grade B

Round 4 (143): Ben Bredeson, G, Michigan

Bredeson, 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, was a four-year starter for the Wolverines. He appeared in 50 games with 46 of those starts at left guard. Bredeson also has leadership skills and was just the 12th player in Michigan history to be named a captain twice. He'll add valuable depth and eventually compete for a starting job. Grade B-

Round 5 (170): Broderick Washington Jr., DT, Texas Tech

Washington is the second defensive tackle taken by Baltimore in this year's draft. He started in all 12 games for Texas Tech on the defensive line. It was the third consecutive year he earned the starting job in every contest.

Washington led all defensive linemen with 39 tackles, including 5.5 that went for a loss. He also posted 2.5 sacks to go along with seven quarterback hurries, a fumble recovery and two pass breakups. Grade B

Round 6 (201): James Proche, WR, SMU

Overall

The Ravens added several areas of need and one unexpected playmaker. DeCosta showed a solid balance in this draft, taking five players on offense and five on defense. The biggest surprise was Dobbins, who fell to Baltimore with the 55th overall pick. He'll be another playmaker in the NFL's most prolific running attack that set the NFL’sall-time single-season rushing mark with 3,296 yards last season. The Ravens found help at linebacker, wide receiver and the offensive and defensive lines. Baltimore was able to land several potential playmakers despite picking near the bottom of each round. Grade A-
