Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Ravens reached some 95 spots for Julien Simon, and value like that does not grow back. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the 31st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at Round 2, Pick 31 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 95th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Monroe Mills
No drama and no debate, Monroe Mills went about where he belonged in pick No. 131. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson at the 172nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
They liked Tristan Leigh enough to skip the value, taking him in the 175th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Johntay Cook II
Johntay Cook II in No. 244 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Julien Simon
Julien Simon at pick 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
