Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Marvin Jones Jr. at the Round 7 slot regardless, 83 picks early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 14th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
They liked Eli Stowers enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 45. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 80 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 115 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
A tidy little value on Charles Demmings in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
They read the board right and Kaytron Allen was the payoff at the 162nd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
They paid up for Jeff Caldwell at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
The board had cheaper options than Thaddeus Dixon at pick No. 211, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
By-the-book stuff, Jack Kelly at Round 7, Pick 34 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marvin Jones Jr. this early at slot 253. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
