Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
Grand theft in pick No. 152: the Ravens steal Davis and grade out a B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Ravens came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

Davis falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Ravens paired the rookies with proven help, Myles Garrett leading the way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In pick 28 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 45th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott slid further than he should have, and slot 80 is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Monroe Freeling. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the 152nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at No. 160 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Nothing to complain about; Max Iheanachor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
The board had cheaper options than CJ Daniels at the 173rd overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 James Smith
James Smith in Round 7, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at No. 252 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
