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

There is reaching, and then there is Patrick Payton at the 174th overall pick. The Ravens jumped the board by 59 and dared it to prove them wrong. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Daniels that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
A tidy little value on Jordyn Tyson in slot 14, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick48 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at pick 48, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Max Klare
They did well to land Max Klare in the 79th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Domani Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They went early on Davison Igbinosun in the 156th pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at No. 162 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in pick 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A reach for Earnest Greene III in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
They paid up for Bear Alexander at No. 248 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jalon Daniels in pick No. 252, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
