Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 203 on Hayden Conner a full 64 spots early.

The Blue steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 27th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the 59th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in Round 3, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at pick No. 136 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
By-the-book stuff, Quincy Riley at No. 176 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick No. 183 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Value said wait; Cam Jackson in No. 210 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
They will replay Jaydon Blue at the 212th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac TeSlaa in the 243rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
