Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Ravens: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on J.J. Weaver; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 156 spots ahead at the Round 6 slot.

On value alone, Sampson makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Hit on Shavon Revel Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 24. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 David Walker
A wild overpay on David Walker in No. 88, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Value said wait; Omarr Norman-Lott in slot 125 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp in the 135th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ar'maj Reed-Adams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dylan Sampson
They will replay Dylan Sampson at Round 6, Pick 1 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in the 184th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at pick 200 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They talked themselves into Trey Wedig at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
