Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens let Leavitt fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Sam Leavitt, the Round 5 slot, roughly 60 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The cost of the Kamara reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Paris Johnson Jr. pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
They will replay Jordyn Tyson at the 40th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
They took Caleb Lomu at par in slot 45, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at pick No. 76 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They did well to land D'Angelo Ponds in Round 4, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Sam Leavitt
Somehow Sam Leavitt was still sitting there in pick 143, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tanner Koziol. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Fair-plus on Jacob Rodriguez, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick174 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 Mark Fletcher Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Mark Fletcher Jr. in Round 5, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
A reach on Elliot Washington II in No. 251; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
