Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Barryn Sorrell, 83 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Alexander value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 27 they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 27. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick 91 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in the 128th pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A conviction pick on Pat Bryant at the 136th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 178th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Value with a capital V on Dorian Strong in pick 185, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They took Jack Kiser at par in the 205th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kyle Monangai in the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
