Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
D+
ValueC
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story. The Ravens put a flag in the ground for Phillip Webb, 102 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Spending an early pick on specialist with running back and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They talked themselves into Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 33, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 20 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick56
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at slot 56 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in pick No. 66; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 96th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the 104th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for O'Donnell Fortune. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Andres Borregales
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went specialist with Andres Borregales while clear needs at running back and quarterback sat open.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 159th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at slot 183 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 203 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Nice patience on Jay Higgins, who had no business lasting to No. 210. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick237
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick No. 243 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
