Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Dominic Zvada. He came off 54 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Hill Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In No. 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick63 Rnd2 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at slot 63 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick No. 95 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the 131st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A straight-up fair deal on Earnest Greene III at the 143rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
A big swing on Bear Alexander at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mark Fletcher Jr. at No. 172 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at pick 175 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick244 Rnd7 Evan Tengesdahl
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Tengesdahl this early at the 244th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
Nice patience on Shamar Porter, who had no business lasting to pick No. 246. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
