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

Nobody had Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 71 spots to get him at the 205th overall pick.

The Giddens pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 27 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They jumped the gun on Donovan Ezeiruaku, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 128th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 136 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 176 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at pick 178, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at No. 185 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson this early at the 205th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the 213th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ja'Corey Brooks in slot 245, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
