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

There is reaching, and then there is Dorian Strong at pick 136. The Ravens jumped the board by 38 and dared it to prove them wrong. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bryant. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick No. 59 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A big swing on Dorian Strong at No. 136, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They barely believed it either: Pat Bryant still on the board at the 176th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Monheim at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing RJ Harvey in the 185th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in pick No. 205, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty Hamilton in No. 213, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the 245th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
