Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Broughton should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Vernon Broughton got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at slot 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Circle this one: Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 91 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 27 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at the 136th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mello Dotson in the 176th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 183 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in pick No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 James Burnip
James Burnip at the 210th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
Taking Ben Sauls in slot 212 is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick243 Rnd7 Vernon Broughton
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Vernon Broughton reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
