Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Gino Garcia at Round 7, Pick 27 is 55 spots clear of where he belonged. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Bowman Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 27th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A tidy bit of business in slot 57, where Jonah Savaiinaea graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They liked Darien Porter enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 59. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 91 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. slipping to pick No. 129 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the 183rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Karene Reid
No drama and no debate, Karene Reid went about where he belonged in the 203rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick210 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A big swing on Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A clean, defensible pick in pick 212 with a little surplus value in Jalen McLeod. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at slot 243, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
