Overall D+

ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB-

The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

The war room fell hard for Hayden Conner, and it showed at Round 6, Pick 36: 53 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker

In the 27th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. More want than need.

Pick61 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins

Jayden Higgins at the 61st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.

Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant

A quiet steal in pick 98: Charles Grant for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.

Pick114 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.

By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 114 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.

Pick116 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones

They talked themselves into Sai'vion Jones at slot 116, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.

Pick129 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune

O'Donnell Fortune at Round 4, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.

Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.

Pick183 Rnd6 CJ West

CJ West at the 183rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
