Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB-

FutureC+
The Ravens worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent pick 211 on Patrick Payton, a name most had 52 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The veteran additions, Quinnen Williams chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Malachi Lawrence
They paid a round early for Malachi Lawrence in No. 47, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 48th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick60
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
Fair-plus on Eli Stowers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
A tidy bit of business in slot 80, where Treydan Stukes graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick No. 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Bud Clark
The board had Bud Clark higher than the 120th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Allar. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
VJ Payne
They talked themselves into VJ Payne at the 160th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick162
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DJ Campbell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Red Murdock
Red Murdock at slot 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick211
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in Round 6, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jimmy Rolder
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jimmy Rolder well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
