Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did enough to get by: C+.

The Hosea Wheeler pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 266 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The Scott value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

If Carter Smith and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In the 15th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Justin Scott
Justin Scott at slot 46 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Melvin Siani
By-the-book stuff, Melvin Siani at the 81st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
A real head-scratcher, Earnest Greene III in pick No. 118 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Melkart Abou Jaoude
They reached into another round for Melkart Abou Jaoude, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd5 Hosea Wheeler
Hosea Wheeler in No. 179 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Emerson Mandell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emerson Mandell well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Alani Noa
Value said wait; Alani Noa in pick 238 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
