Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Somebody took the Ravens to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

They are betting TeSlaa proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Landing Campbell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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 Jack Sawyer
In slot 27 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 51, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at the 59th pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 3, Pick 27 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emery Jones Jr. at pick 129 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 176th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A conviction pick on Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They took Jay Higgins at par in slot 203, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in pick 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
