Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

Nobody had Collin Oliver this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 159 spots to get him at Round 4, Pick 34. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

On value alone, Leonard makes the weekend a net positive. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 27 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid a round early for Jayden Higgins in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
The board had Barrett Carter higher than slot 91, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick129 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 129th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Collin Oliver
They talked themselves into Collin Oliver at pick No. 136, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They robbed the room for Trevor Etienne here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in the 183rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylen Reed at the Round 6 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick210 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre in the 212th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They went early on Hunter Wohler in slot 243, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
