Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Ravens robbed the room for Fano. Final grade: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Spencer Fano had no business being available in No. 152, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Andrus Peat deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 21st overall pick they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
Steal is underselling it; Jordyn Tyson at pick No. 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jermod McCoy
The board fumbled Jermod McCoy all the way to Round 2, Pick 21, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 R Mason Thomas
Taking R Mason Thomas in slot 80 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kayden McDonald
They barely believed it either: Kayden McDonald still on the board at pick 115. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in No. 152 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Joe Royer
A tight end of that caliber at the 172nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
