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

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 228th overall pick on C.J. Hanson a full 35 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 16 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They did well to land Ricky Pearsall in No. 62, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in pick 93, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 117th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 130th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A straight-up fair deal on Walter Rouse at pick 165, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Delmar Glaze. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to No. 218. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick228 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at the 228th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at slot 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
