Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Gabriel. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 133 name on the board, stolen at slot 205. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 27th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached into another round for Donovan Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The board had Darien Porter higher than the Round 3 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lathan Ransom at pick 128 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at No. 136 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They took Willie Lampkin at par in slot 176, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A premium they did not need to pay, JJ Pegues a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A real head-scratcher, Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the 205th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They will replay RJ Harvey at pick 213 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nohl Williams this early at slot 245. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
