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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the Round 6 slot on Ty Hamilton, a name most had 49 spots down the list.

On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 30th overall pick they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 59th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Simon this early at pick No. 109. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They reached a country mile for O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
By-the-book stuff, Hollin Pierce at slot 136 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 176 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
A reach for Caleb Rogers in Round 6, Pick 7; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A real head-scratcher, Ty Hamilton in the 203rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in slot 210 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in the 212th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
