Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Ravens: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Steven Parker. He came off 303 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Burch at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cameron Williams
In the 27th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Steven Parker
A big swing on Steven Parker at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They will replay Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 136 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at the 176th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at slot 183 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jah Joyner
They barely believed it either: Jah Joyner still on the board at pick 203. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 210 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Burch
Taking Jordan Burch in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in the 243rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
