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

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 243rd overall pick on Kai Kroeger a full 39 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Phillips at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 27th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Aireontae Ersery in the 59th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in pick 91 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at No. 129 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
By-the-book stuff, Brashard Smith at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at Round 5, Pick 38 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kyle Williams at pick No. 183. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in No. 203 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
No edge and no loss on Alijah Huzzie in the 210th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at Round 6, Pick 36 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
They talked themselves into Kai Kroeger at pick 243, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
