Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Steven Parker at No. 239, a reach of 81 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Campbell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 23rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick54 Rnd2 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jordan James
A running back of that caliber at the 85th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 124 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A straight-up fair deal on Jaeden Roberts at Round 4, Pick 34, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at pick 174 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They paid sticker price for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 176, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
Taking Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 177 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the 197th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Belton in pick 211 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Steven Parker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Steven Parker well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
