Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
C+
ValueC
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Ravens this weekend: C+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Ravens reached some 248 spots for Julien Simon, and value like that does not grow back. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.
The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
DJ Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Campbell at pick 58 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in slot 90 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Steal is underselling it; Brashard Smith at pick No. 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Barrett Carter
Value said wait; Barrett Carter in No. 139 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick 174 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176
Rnd6
Kaimon Rucker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaimon Rucker well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178
Rnd6
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at slot 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at the 184th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick192
Rnd6
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at Round 6, Pick 17 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Harold Perkins Jr.
They barely believed it either: Harold Perkins Jr. still on the board at Round 6, Pick 27. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Julien Simon
They reached a country mile for Julien Simon at No. 211, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick216
Rnd7
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 216th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241
Rnd7
Collin Schlee
A wild overpay on Collin Schlee in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
