Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
Williams should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Isaiah Williams, the 248th overall pick, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Ogunbiyi lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece at fair value.
Pick67 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Nice patience on Chris Braswell, who had no business lasting to the 67th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in No. 93. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They did well to land Jarrian Jones in the 131st pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Value said wait; Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 134 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Value with a capital V on Javon Foster in pick 138, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 5, Pick 28, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in pick No. 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
