Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Ravens.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Quincy Riley at No. 136 is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Campbell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 27 they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Belton in slot 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board had Billy Bowman Jr. higher than the 129th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
They reached into another round for Quincy Riley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
