Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 136th overall pick on Oluwafemi Oladejo a full 97 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Value with a capital V on Aireontae Ersery in pick No. 59, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They let Maxwell Hairston come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 27. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 128 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oluwafemi Oladejo this early at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 176th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Fair-plus on Jack Nelson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They read the board right and DJ Giddens was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 205 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213 Rnd6 CJ West
They paid sticker price for CJ West in the 213th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in the 245th pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
