Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Jacobs fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Curtis Jacobs got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at slot 228. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Harris pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
They did well to land Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 30, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in slot 62 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 DJ James
Nothing to complain about; DJ James went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Marcus Harris
They went early on Marcus Harris in the 130th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in No. 135 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid up for Layden Robinson at Round 5, Pick 29 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
