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

The Ravens torched the value chart for Julien Simon, taking him 223 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

That Jackson Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Jack Sawyer and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick 24 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to the 56th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jabbar Muhammad
Good price on Jabbar Muhammad in No. 125, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They barely believed it either: Darrell Jackson Jr. still on the board at pick No. 135. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 176th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
The board had Barrett Carter higher than pick 184, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at slot 200 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Tim Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tim Smith in Round 6, Pick 36, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Julien Simon
Julien Simon at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
