Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 25: the Ravens steal Smith and grade out a C+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Brashard Smith, the No. 111 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

They will need Sapp to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 24 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They let Josaiah Stewart come to them and pounced at the 55th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
This one needs a full-page explanation: Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 86, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Value said wait; Derrick Moore in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 135th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in pick 174, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tyreak Sapp
A wild overpay on Tyreak Sapp in Round 6, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Elijah Roberts
They barely believed it either: Elijah Roberts still on the board at the Round 6 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 239th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
