Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Boubacar Traore a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jennings. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
The board had cheaper options than Elijah Sarratt at the 45th pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They paid a round early for Brian Parker II in pick 76, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
By-the-book stuff, Iapani Laloulu at the 150th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A reach for Aamil Wagner in pick No. 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart in pick No. 174 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Lee Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
Quietly one of the better values of the day, De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 248. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
A quarterback of that caliber at pick 251 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
