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

The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Trey Zuhn III went at pick 172, a good 37 picks before the board was ready. Put together, it is a D.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The Lew pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Rueben Bain Jr. at pick No. 2, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 14 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick45 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in the 45th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They let Connor Lew come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 16. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaeden Roberts. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
No drama and no debate, Davison Igbinosun went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 14. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at the 160th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
A reach on Le'Veon Moss in No. 173; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
