Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Ravens spent the 243rd overall pick on Isas Waxter, a name the board had a full 90 spots lower.

It is not that Borregales is a bad player; it is that the Ravens had louder needs to answer first. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Barron.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jahdae Barron at pick 27. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at slot 59 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Belton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Andres Borregales adds a specialist while wide receiver and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick136 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
A reach for Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4, Pick 34; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A conviction pick on JJ Pegues at pick No. 176 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A tidy bit of business in pick 183, where Ajani Cornelius graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 203 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick210 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No edge and no loss on R.J. Mickens in slot 210; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in the 212th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isas Waxter
Value said wait; Isas Waxter in Round 7, Pick 27 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
