Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Ravens a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Patrick Payton. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Lawson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Trey Smith deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In slot 14 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick80 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 80 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Fair-plus on Zachariah Branch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Nothing to complain about; Davison Igbinosun went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They reached a country mile for Patrick Payton at the 160th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
They did well to land Kobe Baynes in the 172nd pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in slot 173 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Holly
Trey Holly at pick 249 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Micah Morris in Round 7, Pick 36. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
