Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and Key: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Ravens watched Dane Key slide 24 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They went early on Jalon Walker in the 54th pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons is a better player than Round 3, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at No. 124 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick 135 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at slot 159 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
They paid sticker price for Tonka Hemingway in pick No. 169, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They took Quincy Riley at par in the 174th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
By-the-book stuff, Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 199 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dane Key
Somehow Dane Key was still sitting there in No. 209, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at slot 237 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
