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

The Ravens did not so much draft Hayden Conner as overpay for him, 55 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Lundt makes the weekend a net positive. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at No. 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 27, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick 129 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They jumped the gun on Logan Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in slot 176 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
A quiet steal in the 183rd pick: Chase Lundt for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 203. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at No. 210, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
The board had cheaper options than Carson Vinson at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in the 243rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
