Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Haynes King at pick No. 253 regardless, 58 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Raridon at that price is a win they earned. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 14th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 45 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid up for Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 80 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Markel Bell
The board had Markel Bell higher than slot 115, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
They barely believed it either: Eli Raridon still on the board at Round 5, Pick 14. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A quiet steal in the 173rd pick: Nadame Tucker for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 34, where Eric Rivers graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Josh Moten
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Moten at slot 211, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. at the 250th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in pick 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
