Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Keyon Ware-Hudson, 149 picks early at the 170th pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Getting Hill Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 David Bailey
A reach for David Bailey in No. 63; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the 95th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kage Casey
By-the-book stuff, Kage Casey at pick No. 131 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jamal Haynes
They reached a country mile for Jamal Haynes at slot 143, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Keyon Ware-Hudson
A big swing on Keyon Ware-Hudson at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in the 172nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Shamar Easter
A premium they did not need to pay, Shamar Easter a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Evan Tengesdahl
A wild overpay on Evan Tengesdahl in the 244th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
A tidy bit of business in slot 246, where Shamar Porter graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
