Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Antwaun Powell-Ryland a full 34 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In pick No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at slot 82, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A reach for Darius Alexander in the 84th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker in No. 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 103rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in slot 113 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 129 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the 130th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131
Rnd4
RJ Harvey
By-the-book stuff, RJ Harvey at Round 4, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd4
Nick Nash
They liked Nick Nash enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 137. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
They paid a round early for Jaylen Reed in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick178
Rnd6
Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jay Higgins in slot 203; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick210
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jabbar Muhammad this early at the 224th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
A wild overpay on Tonka Hemingway in Round 7, Pick 27, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
