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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, the Round 6 slot, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 59th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at slot 91, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They will replay Jordan Phillips at No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
No edge and no loss on Mello Dotson in the 136th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Fair-plus on Chase Lundt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick203 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 203 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Karene Reid
No drama and no debate, Karene Reid went about where he belonged in pick 210. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 212th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 27 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
