Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesC FutureA
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Noah Cain at pick 228 is 148 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Deatrich Wise Jr. deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in No. 62. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They read the board right and Calen Bullock was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at slot 113. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Roger Rosengarten. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Trente Jones in the 218th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Noah Cain
A real head-scratcher, Noah Cain in the 228th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
