Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Bryant fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somebody in pick 178 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Ravens sat still while Pat Bryant, the No. 138 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Hairston left real value on the table behind him. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 59 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at pick No. 128 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander is a better player than Round 4, Pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
No drama and no debate, Oronde Gadsden II went about where he belonged in pick 176. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
You do not let a wide receiver like Pat Bryant reach the 178th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the 185th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the 205th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Value with a capital V on Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 35, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ty Hamilton in the 245th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
