Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Devin Neal slides to the 205th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Ravens did not.

They are betting Walley proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 27 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at No. 59, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Anthony Belton this early at Round 3, Pick 27. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in the 128th overall pick, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 176 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They will replay Jonah Monheim at pick 178 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at the 185th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 205 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
They robbed the room for Andres Borregales here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley in No. 245 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
