Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Ravens. For now, C+.

The Oluwafemi Oladejo selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 110 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Giddens at that price is a win they earned.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
They paid sticker price for Malaki Starks in pick 27, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 27 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at the 91st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in the 136th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens is a better player than pick No. 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They read the board right and JJ Pegues was the payoff at the 185th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in the 205th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in pick 213 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in No. 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
