Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Alexander. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Zy Alexander, the No. 97 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Armand Membou
The board had Armand Membou higher than No. 27, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A slide stopped in the 59th pick, with Xavier Watts worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 91st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick129 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
The board fumbled Zy Alexander all the way to pick 129, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A tidy bit of business in slot 136, where Dorian Strong graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They let RJ Harvey come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 38. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ajani Cornelius at the Round 6 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at pick No. 203 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 34. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick212 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in slot 212 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at pick No. 243 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
