Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Jackson: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jayden Jackson at No. 177 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Smothers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordan Seaton
In the 14th pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jamari Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jamari Johnson at No. 45. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
They took Jamari Sharpe at par in the 79th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Sammy Omosigho worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at slot 177 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd5 Hollywood Smothers
A conviction pick on Hollywood Smothers at pick 179 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Bryce Thornton
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 40: Bryce Thornton for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235 Rnd7 Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III at pick No. 235 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
