Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The war room fell hard for Patrick Payton, and it showed at the 173rd overall pick: 74 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Demmings.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In slot 14 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all.
Pick45 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in Round 2, Pick 13 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Fair-plus on Elijah Sarratt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They paid sticker price for Keylan Rutledge in pick 115, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in No. 154 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in pick No. 162 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
Nice patience on Cyrus Allen, who had no business lasting to pick 174. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
They talked themselves into Eric O'Neill at Round 6, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at No. 250 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
They did well to land Desmond Reid in the 253rd pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
