Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Ravens spent real capital to be 104 picks early on Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

However the rest shakes out, Evans at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 27th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea slipping to slot 59 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They let Darien Porter come to them and pounced at pick 91. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached into another round for Oluwafemi Oladejo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 136 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They robbed the room for Mitchell Evans here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
A slide stopped in slot 178, with DJ Giddens worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Value said wait; Jacob Parrish in the 185th pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 205, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 CJ West
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ West in the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
A wild overpay on Barryn Sorrell in Round 7, Pick 27, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
