However the Ravens are an excellent example of maximizing value in everything they do. What did they give up for Peters? At most one first round pick, and he's a pro bowl level young cb.

Bruh. You're wrong. 
They targeted Lamar in that draft and gave up two 2nd round picks to go get him after they had traded down, drafted a TE and got nervous they may miss Lamar. 

QB was a position of need - Newsome and DeCastro had a plan to revamp the offense - and Lamar was their guy.

Back on topic: 

I don't think Tony Khan will be the next GM, but I bet he has the new GM's ear more readily than he has in the past.
(and I guarantee they'll select players using a combination of value and need and they won't just select the highest rated player on their board regardless of position.)
