Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Ravens a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Kaelon Black; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 43 spots ahead at the 174th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Lew at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
No edge and no loss on D'Angelo Ponds in No. 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 49 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at pick 80 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick No. 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
They let Malik Muhammad come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. at No. 154 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Malik Benson
Malik Benson at slot 162 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They took Kaleb Elarms-Orr at par in the 173rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kaelon Black
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaelon Black in Round 5, Pick 34, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
The board fumbled Jeff Caldwell all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
