Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did enough to get by: C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 91, a reach of 66 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Landing Harvey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Hit on Bradyn Swinson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Bradyn Swinson
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A tidy bit of business in pick 59, where Marcus Mbow graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A tidy little value on Jeffrey Bassa in the 129th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams is a better player than slot 136 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
They reached a country mile for Fadil Diggs at No. 176, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Raheim Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Somehow Jake Briningstool was still sitting there in slot 203, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Davin Vann
A wild overpay on Davin Vann in the 210th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Circle this one: Phil Mafah at the 243rd pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
