Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Richard Jibunor at No. 248 regardless, 148 picks early.

Hart at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at slot 62, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Junior Colson
The board fumbled Junior Colson all the way to the 93rd pick, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick No. 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Dixon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Circle this one: Cam Hart at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Richard Jibunor in the 248th overall pick, miles early. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
