Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B.

The Ravens did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nohl Williams fell into No. 176.

Reaching for Dellinger left real value on the table behind him. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and pick No. 61 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The board fumbled Maxwell Hairston all the way to No. 91, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Somehow Charles Grant was still sitting there in slot 129, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Smael Mondon Jr. at linebacker with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Steal is underselling it; Nohl Williams at pick 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ajani Cornelius at the Round 6 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They read the board right and Jaylen Reed was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 27. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick205 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They barely believed it either: Quincy Riley still on the board at pick No. 205. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Taking JJ Pegues in the 210th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 6, Pick 36 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Jamon Dumas-Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick243 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in slot 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
