Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Ravens. For now, C+.

The Ravens torched the value chart for Maurice Smith, taking him 207 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Getting Singleton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Amos. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A reach for Ajani Cornelius in the 91st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Jaeden Roberts in slot 127 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Max Brosmer
A wild overpay on Max Brosmer in slot 182, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick No. 201 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Shaun Dolac
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shaun Dolac in No. 211, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at Round 7, Pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
