FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-. The Ravens put a flag in the ground for J.J. Weaver, 134 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Klubnik pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. With interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 23rd overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Fair-plus on Tyler Booker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 85, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots to take Barrett Carter, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick135
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at the 135th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at Round 5, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in pick 177 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197
Rnd6
Collin Oliver
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Collin Oliver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the 211th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Anthony Belton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Anthony Belton in slot 239. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
