Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- 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 Jalen Travis at slot 212 regardless, 71 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Azareye'h Thomas at pick 59, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 129th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 176. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Nice patience on Cobee Bryant, who had no business lasting to pick No. 183. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 203rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
A tidy bit of business in No. 210, where Kyle Monangai graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 7, Pick 27 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
