Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at Round 6, Pick 35, a reach of 67 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Harvey makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In pick 27 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the 59th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A cornerback of that caliber at the 91st pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 David Walker
A real head-scratcher, David Walker in slot 128 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at No. 176 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Good price on Quincy Riley in pick No. 178, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Nice patience on JJ Pegues, who had no business lasting to slot 185. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the 205th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the 213th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in Round 7, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
