Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Ravens won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The Ravens put a flag in the ground for Patrick Payton, 46 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They banked enough surplus on Washington Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Caleb Lomu, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 18 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
A tidy bit of business in pick 45, where Chris Brazzell II graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Steal is underselling it; Chase Bisontis at the 80th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Somehow Mike Washington Jr. was still sitting there in slot 115, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Good price on Charles Demmings in the 154th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They took Aamil Wagner at par in pick 174, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at Round 7, Pick 37 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
