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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Anthony Belton a full 162 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Judkins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Abdul Carter at No. 24. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in Round 2, Pick 23 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 125th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at pick No. 135 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at the 174th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Value said wait; Quincy Riley in Round 6, Pick 7 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Aydan White
Aydan White in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 LT Overton
They read the board right and LT Overton was the payoff at the 198th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jalon Walker
Somehow Jalon Walker was still sitting there in slot 206, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at the 211th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Rivers this early at pick No. 240. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
