Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

Nobody had Keaten Wade this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 55 spots to get him at slot 252.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Anderson to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 R Mason Thomas
In pick 14 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the 80th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at No. 115 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
Nice patience on Nic Anderson, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 14. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They reached a country mile for Patrick Payton at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at No. 174 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A straight-up fair deal on Tony Grimes at Round 7, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at the 252nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
