Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalen Travis at No. 213 regardless, 69 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Giddens value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson at pick 59 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid sticker price for Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 27, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Fair-plus on Jacob Parrish, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
No drama and no debate, Pat Bryant went about where he belonged in slot 136. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at pick No. 176, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Cobee Bryant. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 6, Pick 7 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They did well to land Jack Kiser in pick 205, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at pick No. 245. A need, and now a little less of one.
