Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Ravens spent the Round 7 slot on Kyren Lacy, a name the board had a full 45 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 59 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They paid sticker price for Tai Felton in the 97th pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They went early on Mitchell Evans in slot 135, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Andres Borregales adds a specialist and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They paid up for Nick Nash at No. 139 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 176th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue is a better player than slot 183 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in pick No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in No. 210 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jason Marshall Jr. in the 212th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Cam Jackson at pick 224 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A real head-scratcher, Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 15 is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A wild overpay on Kyren Lacy in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings in Round 7, Pick 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
