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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent pick 211 on Patrick Payton, a name most had 52 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The veteran additions, Quinnen Williams chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
They paid a round early for Malachi Lawrence in No. 47, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 48th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick60 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Fair-plus on Eli Stowers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A tidy bit of business in slot 80, where Treydan Stukes graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick No. 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bud Clark
The board had Bud Clark higher than the 120th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Allar. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 VJ Payne
They talked themselves into VJ Payne at the 160th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick162 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Campbell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at slot 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick211 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in Round 6, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jimmy Rolder well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
