Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The David Walker pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 67 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That is a specialist worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the 27th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board had cheaper options than Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at No. 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick 128 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in slot 136 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the 176th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
You do not let a specialist like Ben Sauls reach slot 178 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick185 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
They went early on Luke Elzinga in No. 185, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
