Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Kalil Alexander went at slot 211, a good 79 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Austin at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 14 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor slid further than he should have, and pick 45 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
A wild overpay on Brian Parker II in No. 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A clean, defensible pick in the 154th pick with a little surplus value in Beau Stephens. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A reach for Zane Durant in Round 5, Pick 22; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They paid sticker price for Keagen Trost in the 173rd pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at Round 5, Pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
They talked themselves into Kalil Alexander at the 211th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Brent Austin
A quiet steal in pick No. 250: Brent Austin for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A slide stopped in No. 253, with Eli Heidenreich worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
