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

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 5 slot on Roger Rosengarten a full 37 spots early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Landing Thomas Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 39 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A reach for Brandon Dorlus in Round 2, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They liked Dominick Puni enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 93. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 108 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No drama and no debate, Leonard Taylor III went about where he belonged in the 110th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A conviction pick on Cedric Gray at the 126th pick that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at No. 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 5 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 142nd overall pick 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.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the 164th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
