Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 27, a reach of 87 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

On value alone, Tuten makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 27 they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in pick 91, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 128th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at slot 136 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacob Parrish. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oronde Gadsden II in the 185th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A wild overpay on Miles Frazier in slot 205, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to pick No. 213, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jimmy Horn Jr. this early at No. 245. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
