Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Ravens.

The war room fell hard for Evan Stewart, and it showed at pick 237: 64 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Echoles. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
Nothing to complain about; Ellis Robinson IV went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Somehow Will Echoles was still sitting there in the 50th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 17: LaNorris Sellers for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu slipping to pick 118 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
They read the board right and Whit Weeks was the payoff at pick No. 177. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They took Jermaine Mathews Jr. at par in No. 179, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
A real head-scratcher, Evan Stewart in Round 7, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
