Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Styles: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Sonny Styles at No. 126 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 62 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the 94th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in Round 4, Pick 30 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
They robbed the room for Donovan Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Marcus Mbow
A quiet steal in slot 190: Marcus Mbow for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Truss at No. 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
