Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens turned the phones into found money: B+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Ethan Downs, 41 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Ravens clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. in pick 27 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 David Walker
A reach for David Walker in Round 3, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at slot 129 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A tidy little value on Cody Simon in pick No. 136, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jalen McLeod
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen McLeod this early at No. 176. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Value with a capital V on DJ Giddens in the 183rd pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
The board fumbled JJ Pegues all the way to pick No. 203, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Batty in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Edwards at the 212th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
A big swing on Ethan Downs at pick 243, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
