Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Ravens let Ward fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Ward, No. 183, roughly 177 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Taking Armand Membou in Round 2, Pick 5 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 59th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 91 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 129th overall pick 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.
Pick136 Rnd4 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 176 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in No. 180, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cam Ward
Somehow Cam Ward was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trey Amos
Steal is underselling it; Trey Amos at the 210th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 212 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at the 243rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
