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

Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at the 185th pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Wedig has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at the 59th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 91st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in Round 4, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 136th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at pick 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick178 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in slot 178 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
A specialist of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Hamilton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached a country mile for Trey Wedig at Round 7, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
