Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 127 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They banked enough surplus on Smith to cover a lot of smaller sins. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 86 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. is a better player than pick 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 135th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick174 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 174th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at pick 175 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in the 180th overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They reached into another round for Clay Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in No. 211, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A tidy bit of business in slot 240, where Jackson Hawes graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
