Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Trevor Etienne, taking him 35 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pegues.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in No. 59 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 65th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 104 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A slide stopped in the 128th pick, with Hollin Pierce worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
They went early on Andres Borregales in the 134th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach pick 136 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick No. 176 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A quiet steal in No. 178: Chase Lundt for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at slot 185 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Somehow KeAndre Lambert-Smith was still sitting there in the 213th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
They liked Kevin Jennings enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 245. The roster fit checks out.
