Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Everette: B-.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Ravens to leave a draft.

Everette at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If Clark pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 45 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 80 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 115th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Value with a capital V on Kage Casey in slot 153, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A tidy little value on Ted Hurst in No. 161, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in slot 173 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They did well to land DJ Campbell in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jaylon Braxton
Jaylon Braxton in No. 249 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
They paid sticker price for Rueben Owens II in the 252nd pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
