Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Kimani Vidal. He came off 44 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 30th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 62nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt in No. 93 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caedan Wallace
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Caedan Wallace. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kimani Vidal
A wild overpay on Kimani Vidal in slot 165, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 218th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at pick 250 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
