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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Sav'ell Smalls a full 113 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Hill Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eric Singleton Jr.
Circle this one: Eric Singleton Jr. at pick No. 63 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Earnest Greene III
They reached a country mile for Earnest Greene III at pick 95, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in Round 4, Pick 29 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at No. 170 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 A'Marion Peterson
A big swing on A'Marion Peterson at the 172nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
A reach on Tristan Leigh in pick 175; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cormani McClain
Cormani McClain at slot 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Samson Okunlola
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Samson Okunlola. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Sav'ell Smalls
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sav'ell Smalls in the 246th pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
