Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Cook fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brady Cook, the No. 115 name on the board, in pick 159.

They will need Collins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Keon Sabb
A reach for Keon Sabb in No. 54; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
They went early on Evan Stewart in the 88th overall pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick 124 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 135th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Brady Cook
You do not let a quarterback like Brady Cook reach Round 5, Pick 21 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Gentry Williams
The board had cheaper options than Gentry Williams at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at slot 199 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at No. 209 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 237th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
