Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The war room fell hard for LT Overton, and it showed at the 124th overall pick: 36 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That Revel Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 23 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Shavon Revel Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Shavon Revel Jr. in slot 88, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124 Rnd4 LT Overton
They left a pile of value on the table to take LT Overton this early at the 124th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brady Cook
Value with a capital V on Brady Cook in the 135th overall pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Aubrey Burks
They took Aubrey Burks at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
They read the board right and Jaishawn Barham was the payoff at No. 174. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick199 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
They jumped the gun on Xavier Truss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
They paid a round early for Kyren Lacy in pick No. 209, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
They reached into another round for Mason Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in the 237th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
