Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

Some picks age like wine; Andrew Armstrong at No. 243 will need to, sitting 56 spots clear of his grade.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Belton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In slot 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick129 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 129th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at pick No. 136 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
A tidy little value on Kyle Williams in pick 176, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 CJ West
They took CJ West at par in the 183rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in pick No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Value said wait; Hunter Wohler in No. 210 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
They reached into another round for Andrew Armstrong, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
