Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but DeMonte Capehart at the 190th overall pick is 59 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tre Harris
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tre Harris. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
They went early on Josh Simmons in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Jalon Walker at pick No. 94, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at Round 3, Pick 31 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Zach Rice
A reach for Zach Rice in the 158th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at slot 190, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Davin Vann
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davin Vann in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
