Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Some picks age like wine; Hayden Conner at the 210th overall pick will need to, sitting 44 spots clear of his grade. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pierce.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In slot 27 they get a problem off the edge, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They let Malaki Starks come to them and pounced at No. 41. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
The board had Barrett Carter higher than the 91st overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick176 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Taking Hollin Pierce in the 176th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
No drama and no debate, Luke Lachey went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in slot 210, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at pick 212 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Jackson at the 243rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
