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

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Ravens reached some 62 spots for Jalen Thompson, and value like that does not grow back. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Hughes pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Banks. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63 Rnd2 Makhi Hughes
They let Makhi Hughes come to them and pounced at the 63rd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane in pick 73 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in pick No. 95 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tree Babalade
A big swing on Tree Babalade at Round 4, Pick 29, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at No. 170 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
They paid up for Tristan Leigh at pick No. 172 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at Round 5, Pick 37 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Leckner
Trey Leckner at No. 209 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Johntay Cook II
Johntay Cook II at pick 244 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kyron Drones
They reached a country mile for Kyron Drones at the 246th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
