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

The Ravens did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Elijah Arroyo fell into the 201st pick.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at Round 2, Pick 27. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
They will replay Jayden Higgins at slot 127 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 135th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at No. 174 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick No. 181 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Steal is underselling it; Elijah Arroyo at the 201st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach Round 6, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick211 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick243 Rnd7 Darius Alexander
Taking Darius Alexander in slot 243 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
