Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Ravens, and a C+ to match.

The Ravens spent real capital to be 81 picks early on Tyler Loop, and the board is going to hold them to it. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 59 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 3, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They went early on Hollin Pierce in pick 129, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They jumped the gun on Pat Bryant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quincy Riley. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They paid sticker price for JJ Pegues in pick 183, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in the 203rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
A big swing on Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 212, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop at Round 7, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
