Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Collin Oliver, 80 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

However the rest shakes out, Pierce at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In slot 27 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Value said wait; Jared Ivey in pick 59 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 91st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James is a better player than No. 129 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga in the 176th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in No. 183 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
A quiet steal in pick No. 203: Roc Taylor for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Jackson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They reached into another round for Collin Oliver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
