Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Etienne: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Trevor Etienne had no business being available in the 212th pick, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Harris reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy bit of business in the 59th pick, where Aireontae Ersery graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at slot 91 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They let Joshua Farmer come to them and pounced at pick No. 129. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Value with a capital V on Cobee Bryant in the 136th overall pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick 176 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board had Jaylen Reed higher than No. 203, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick 210 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Etienne at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy little value on Isaac TeSlaa in slot 243, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
