Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Farmer: D+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Hayden Conner at the Round 6 slot, roughly 44 spots before his name belonged.

Farmer falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 27 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They let Trey Amos come to them and pounced at No. 59. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Barrett Carter in the 91st overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 176 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Joshua Farmer
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Farmer in the 183rd pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jack Nelson reach Round 6, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick No. 210 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.
Pick212 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at No. 212 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at the 243rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
