Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Gentry Williams at the 209th pick, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Tyson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63 Rnd2 Harold Perkins Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Harold Perkins Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick95 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at pick 95 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in No. 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They liked DJ Campbell enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 170. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Riley Mahlman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Riley Mahlman in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid sticker price for De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 175, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in the 209th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dylan Edwards
A reach on Dylan Edwards in Round 7, Pick 28; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Riley Williams
Riley Williams in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
