Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Bassa fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jeffrey Bassa had no business being available in No. 211, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. If Hemingway pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They did well to land Dylan Fairchild in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
No edge and no loss on Azareye'h Thomas in Round 3, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
The board fumbled Elic Ayomanor all the way to slot 127, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 135th pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Somehow Luke Kandra was still sitting there in the 174th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 181 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick No. 201 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They reached a country mile for Tonka Hemingway at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 243 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
