Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Kiser: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jack Kiser got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at pick 212.

They will need Lachey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 27th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Azareye'h Thomas. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in slot 129 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
They paid sticker price for Aeneas Peebles in pick No. 139, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick 176 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at Round 6, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Nice patience on Jaylen Reed, who had no business lasting to No. 203. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 210 with a little surplus value in Jalen McLeod. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at the 212th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Roc Taylor at slot 243, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
