New York, NY – Delaware's Gino Gradkowski wasn't generally considered a fourth-round selection, but the Baltimore Ravens thought otherwise.
And that's all it takes for an NFL Draft selection.
On the final day of the 77th annual draft Saturday, the Ravens used the third pick of the fourth round - 98th overall - to select the offensive guard and center.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Gradkowski is the younger brother of veteran NFL quarterback Brad Gradkowski. He will join the offensive line that is protecting former Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco.
The two-time All-CAA Football selection is considered an excellent interior blocker who could learn from veteran Ravens center Matt Birk.
Gradkowski began his college career at West Virginia before dropping to the FCS level at Delaware. He started for the Blue Hens' FCS national runner-up squad in 2010.
