Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the D.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Gino Garcia at the 243rd pick, a reach of 58 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Campbell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 27th overall pick they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the 59th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 38; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Colby. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Good price on Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 203, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
They talked themselves into CJ Dippre at Round 6, Pick 34, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 John Williams
Value said wait; John Williams in No. 212 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
