Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in Round 6, Pick 43, a good 67 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 30th overall pick they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at No. 62 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Lynn Polk reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Foster in pick 130. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Myles Cole
They talked themselves into Myles Cole at pick No. 165, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Value said wait; Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick No. 218 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 8 with a little surplus value in Gabe Hall. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in the 250th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
