Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens bet big and early on Jalen Travis, 130 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They banked enough surplus on Schwesinger to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They read the board right and Tate Ratledge was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 27. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A tidy bit of business in pick 127, where Savion Williams graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jalen Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Travis in the 135th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 174th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ollie Gordon II at the 181st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
They barely believed it either: Carson Schwesinger still on the board at slot 201. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at Round 6, Pick 32. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They reached a country mile for Roc Taylor at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
