Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 211 on Jack Kelly a full 55 spots early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stowers. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 14 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
The board had Denzel Boston higher than the 45th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They robbed the room for Eli Stowers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Circle this one: Sam Hecht at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Value said wait; Nadame Tucker in Round 5, Pick 14 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Value with a capital V on Charles Demmings in No. 162, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They paid a round early for Zane Durant in pick 173, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dae'Quan Wright
The board had cheaper options than Dae'Quan Wright at slot 174, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at pick No. 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick250 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They talked themselves into Adam Randall at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
They reached into another round for Tristan Leigh, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
