Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Pieper fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kade Pieper tumbling to the Ravens in No. 115 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Austin Siereveld
In pick No. 14 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Zabien Brown
A cornerback of that caliber at the 45th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Antwan Raymond
Antwan Raymond in Round 3, Pick 16 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kade Pieper
The board fumbled Kade Pieper all the way to the 115th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Whit Weeks at slot 152 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160 Rnd5 Eugene Wilson III
A conviction pick on Eugene Wilson III at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Donovan Jones
Donovan Jones at No. 172 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb at pick 173 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick249 Rnd7 Byrum Brown
Nice patience on Byrum Brown, who had no business lasting to pick 249. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bradyn Joiner
Bradyn Joiner at the 252nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
