Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 81 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Milroe pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 27 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Savaiinaea in the 59th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 27, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at slot 128 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They talked themselves into Dorian Strong at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A conviction pick on Cobee Bryant at pick No. 176 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 178 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A wild overpay on Jack Kiser in slot 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick No. 213 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Etienne at Round 7, Pick 27 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
