Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Ravens reached some 120 spots for Jalen Rivers, and value like that does not grow back.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Armand Membou
They paid sticker price for Armand Membou in No. 59, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 91st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 135 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Gray at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick No. 201 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalen Rivers
They reached a country mile for Jalen Rivers at the 207th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
They let Jonas Sanker come to them and pounced at pick 211. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Taking Jake Briningstool in slot 243 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
