Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in John Emery Jr., taking him 202 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Rakestraw Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They barely believed it either: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. still on the board at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan slid further than he should have, and pick No. 93 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Value with a capital V on Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 134, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 John Emery Jr.
John Emery Jr. at pick 164 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
