Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Patrick Payton at the Round 5 slot. The Ravens jumped the board by 26 and dared it to prove them wrong. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 14 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 45 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
They took Skyler Bell at par in No. 80, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 115th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
No edge and no loss on Aamil Wagner in pick No. 152; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
No drama and no debate, Gracen Halton went about where he belonged in the 172nd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 173 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalil Farooq in Round 7, Pick 33. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Trey Holly
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Holly at pick No. 252. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
