Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall F
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Gabriel in the fold, and a F for the Ravens.

The war room fell hard for Dillon Gabriel, and it showed at pick 27: 101 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. So much rides on Dillon Gabriel that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dotson.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Dillon Gabriel
In the 27th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 36 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Good price on Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 2, Pick 31, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No drama and no debate, Donovan Ezeiruaku went about where he belonged in the 66th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They took Darien Porter at par in pick 70, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in slot 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Brashard Smith
A big swing on Brashard Smith at pick No. 89, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 O'Donnell Fortune
This one needs a full-page explanation: O'Donnell Fortune in the 91st overall pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 4, Pick 2 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They talked themselves into Oronde Gadsden II at the 136th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
A market-rate specialist, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andres Borregales. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Somehow Mello Dotson was still sitting there in No. 175, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 183rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at slot 203, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 212 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick223 Rnd7 CJ West
They read the board right and CJ West was the payoff at the 223rd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A reach for Clay Webb in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb in pick 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
