Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent slot 154 on George Gumbs Jr., a name most had 42 spots down the list. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

That Lew pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 18 they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
They let Chris Johnson come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 13. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Lee Hunter. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Connor Lew
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 115 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
A wild overpay on George Gumbs Jr. in pick 154, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Nice patience on Demond Claiborne, who had no business lasting to pick No. 173. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A reach on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 174th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Steal is underselling it; Jeff Caldwell at pick 211 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the 235th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
They robbed the room for Latrell McCutchin Sr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A conviction pick on Bryce Foster at slot 253 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
