Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureD-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Ravens.

The Ravens bet big and early on Tahj Brooks, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Arnold. The Ravens clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
They paid sticker price for JT Tuimoloau in the Round 1 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
They read the board right and Terrion Arnold was the payoff at the 36th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A reach for Brian Thomas Jr. in slot 61; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tahj Brooks well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They liked Gabe Hall enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 30. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the 250th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
