Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Davin Vann selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 62 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Mbow value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 27th pick they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick No. 59 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A reach for Dylan Fairchild in slot 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
By-the-book stuff, Brashard Smith at pick 129 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 RJ Oben
RJ Oben in the 176th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at pick 183 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jason Marshall Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 27. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Jackson this early at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Davin Vann
Davin Vann in pick No. 212 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
They reached into another round for Ethan Downs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
