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

The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Samson Okunlola went at pick 246, a good 86 picks before the board was ready.

Hill Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in pick No. 63 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick95 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at the 95th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick 131 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
They talked themselves into Bear Alexander at Round 5, Pick 5, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 170th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Shamar Easter
By-the-book stuff, Shamar Easter at pick No. 172 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in slot 175 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at pick 244 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Samson Okunlola
A real head-scratcher, Samson Okunlola in No. 246 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
