Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Ravens for Neal: B.

Call it larceny. Devin Neal sat on the board until Round 5, Pick 37, and the Ravens did not need to be asked twice.

If Caldwell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
A slide stopped in slot 27, with Luther Burden III worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
No drama and no debate, Denzel Burke went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Somehow Dylan Fairchild was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 136 on Barrett Carter with quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick176 Rnd5 Devin Neal
You do not let a running back like Devin Neal reach pick 176 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jonah Monheim in the 185th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
Steal is underselling it; Andres Borregales at the 205th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 213th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
A big swing on Jamaree Caldwell at pick 245, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
