Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Teddye Buchanan at pick 203 will need to, sitting 49 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Pearce Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 27th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Miles Frazier in pick 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They took Nohl Williams at par in pick No. 129, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 176th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 203 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick210 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Value said wait; Desmond Watson in No. 210 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
No drama and no debate, Jordan Hancock went about where he belonged in the 212th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaac TeSlaa at slot 243 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
