Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Ravens spent the Round 4 slot on Que Robinson, a name the board had a full 115 spots lower. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

On value alone, Higgins makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 27th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Taking Jayden Higgins in pick 91 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jacob Parrish in No. 128. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Que Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Que Robinson in the 136th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in slot 176 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens is a better player than the 178th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A reach on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 205; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at Round 6, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
A wild overpay on Jaylin Lane in No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
