Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Thomas Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brian Thomas Jr., No. 62, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged.

The Wright reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the 62nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Corley at No. 93 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They reached into another round for Jaylen Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 134th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick251 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at pick No. 251 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
