Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Ravens torched the value chart for Demon Clowney, taking him 71 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Reese pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Adding Justin Skule by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick49 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They went early on Akheem Mesidor in slot 49, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 80th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They liked D'Angelo Ponds enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 29. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A conviction pick on Zane Durant at No. 152 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
A big swing on Zen Michalski at the 249th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
This one needs a full-page explanation: Demon Clowney in Round 7, Pick 36, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
