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

The Tyler Loop selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 78 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr.. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 129 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They read the board right and Cobee Bryant was the payoff at slot 136. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the 176th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
No drama and no debate, Jack Kiser went about where he belonged in the 183rd pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Rogers in pick 203. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They went early on Howard Cross III in slot 210, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at No. 212, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
A wild overpay on Tyler Loop in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
