Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

Nobody else had Aaron Graves anywhere near pick 80. The Ravens did, by 73 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 14 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Value said wait; Gabe Jacas in pick 45 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
They reached into another round for Aaron Graves, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 15 is lovely value for the edge rusher. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A premium they did not need to pay, Taylen Green a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol slipping to the 160th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
Fair-plus on Kobe Baynes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oscar Delp in slot 173. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
They went early on Duce Chestnut in Round 7, Pick 33, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They did well to land Jordan Hall in pick 252, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
