Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Tyler Loop, 81 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach for Maxwell Hairston in the 59th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A big swing on Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in Round 4, Pick 34 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 CJ West
They went early on CJ West in the 176th pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 183rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in pick No. 203 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in Round 6, Pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in the 212th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Value said wait; Tyler Loop in slot 243 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
