Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Alexander should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B+.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Darius Alexander, the No. 130 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The Dellinger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Watts at the 59th overall pick is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jayden Higgins at No. 91 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 128 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Somehow Earnest Greene III was still sitting there in pick No. 178, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Darius Alexander reach the 185th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 205 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Cam Jackson at No. 213 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 245th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
