Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Austin Booker a full 33 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Jordan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In No. 30 they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roman Wilson at slot 93. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 131st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They paid a round early for Javion Cohen in pick 134, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at pick No. 164, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick226 Rnd7 Christian Jones
The board had Christian Jones higher than slot 226, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in Round 7, Pick 28 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
