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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Marcus Mbow, No. 91, roughly 40 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 27 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at slot 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nohl Williams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Good price on Chase Lundt in Round 5, Pick 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Kiser at pick 183, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They talked themselves into Cam Jackson at the 203rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 6 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
No edge and no loss on Jordan Hancock in slot 212; it is a wash and a sensible one. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Shemar James
No drama and no debate, Shemar James went about where he belonged in the 243rd overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
