Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens bet big and early on Bear Alexander, 49 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Hill Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 63 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at Round 3, Pick 33 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Circle this one: Charles Jagusah at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
A wild overpay on Mark Fletcher Jr. in the 143rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in No. 157 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bear Alexander in the 170th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Trebor Pena
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trebor Pena. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan White
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan White well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
No drama and no debate, Ethan Onianwa went about where he belonged in the 244th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
