Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens land in the muddy middle: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Samson Okunlola at Round 5, Pick 34 is 145 spots clear of where he belonged. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Singleton. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Evan Tengesdahl
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick70 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey in No. 70 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nicholas Singleton at slot 106. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They talked themselves into D'Angelo Ponds at the 131st overall pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Khalil Barnes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khalil Barnes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick172 Rnd5 Samson Okunlola
A big swing on Samson Okunlola at No. 172, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Gabe Jacas
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Jacas in Round 5, Pick 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Mycah Pittman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mycah Pittman in pick 209, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dante Lovett
They reached a country mile for Dante Lovett at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Keeshawn Silver
They reached into another round for Keeshawn Silver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Sage Ryan
Sage Ryan at pick No. 246 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
