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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tahj Brooks tumbling to the Ravens in No. 209 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Dart left real value on the table behind him. The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Bond. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A wild overpay on Jaxson Dart in the 59th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 91st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at pick No. 130 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with cornerback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick173 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 5, Pick 37 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Chris Paul Jr. reach No. 186 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick207 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 207 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at the 209th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
