Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Maurice Smith this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 199 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 27.

Singleton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Josaiah Stewart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josaiah Stewart
In the 27th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
By-the-book stuff, Maxwell Hairston at pick 91 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 127th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in No. 135 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
The board fumbled Nicholas Singleton all the way to slot 174, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
A big swing on Anthony Belton at pick 175, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 181 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201 Rnd6 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick No. 201 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Somehow Elijah Arroyo was still sitting there in the 211th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith at slot 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
