Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Jaylin Smith. He came off 40 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid up for Tate Ratledge at the 59th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 129th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chase Lundt. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Nice patience on Seth McLaughlin, who had no business lasting to slot 176. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at slot 183 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A wild overpay on Cam Jackson in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
The board had Roc Taylor higher than the 210th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
A big swing on Jaylin Smith at Round 6, Pick 36, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory at the 243rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
