Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureC-
The Ravens got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Ravens bet big and early on Phillip Webb, 114 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Spending an early pick on specialist with running back and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reach on Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 39; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 42 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 50th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Tyleik Williams graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had Donovan Jackson higher than pick No. 81, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in the 99th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105 Rnd4 Logan Brown
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Brown. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 125 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 129th overall pick on Andres Borregales with running back and quarterback unsolved.
Pick136 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They went early on Clay Webb in slot 183, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in No. 191 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They took Jay Higgins at par in No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 211th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 6, Pick 36 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Value said wait; Phillip Webb in the 237th pick says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
