Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Ravens a B+.

The Ravens put a flag in the ground for Damon Payne, 139 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Quenton Nelson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

The Ponds value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at Round 2, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 80 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing D'Angelo Ponds in the 115th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chase Roberts in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
A reach for Le'Veon Moss in slot 160; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Trebor Pena
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trebor Pena this early at No. 172. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Damon Payne
They reached a country mile for Damon Payne at pick 173, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in slot 249 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keyon Ware-Hudson
Keyon Ware-Hudson in pick No. 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
