Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Ravens, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Every board in the league had Wilson lower, and that gap is the story. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Banks.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 14 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Sonny Styles, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick59 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Nothing to complain about; Michael Taaffe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
A quiet steal in No. 75: Jadarian Price for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A slide stopped in pick No. 80, with Domonique Orange worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Taurean York
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Taurean York adds a linebacker and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Golday in Round 3, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A conviction pick on D'Angelo Ponds at the 90th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in No. 115 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They paid a round early for DJ Campbell in pick 149, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 152 with a little surplus value in Davison Igbinosun. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 160th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Raylen Wilson this early at the Round 5 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick172 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They took Sawyer Robertson at par in pick 172, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A straight-up fair deal on Rayshaun Benny at No. 173, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
