Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueD- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Ravens.

The Ravens did not so much draft Marcus Major as overpay for him, 337 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Barron value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Hit on Landon Jackson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson in pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the 59th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Green
Somehow Mike Green was still sitting there in slot 91, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They barely believed it either: Elic Ayomanor still on the board at Round 4, Pick 27. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Marcus Major
They reached into another round for Marcus Major, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jasheen Davis this early at the 176th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at Round 6, Pick 7 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in slot 203 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Joe Huber
Value said wait; Joe Huber in pick No. 210 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 212th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach No. 243 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
