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

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Barryn Sorrell, taking him 123 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Belton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Nice patience on Trey Amos, who had no business lasting to slot 59. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach No. 91 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Somehow Lathan Ransom was still sitting there in the 128th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 136th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They robbed the room for Anthony Belton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 178 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 185th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
The board fumbled RJ Harvey all the way to pick 213, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They will replay Ricky White III at Round 7, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
