Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on R.J. Oben; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 116 spots ahead at No. 245.

They banked enough surplus on Neal to cover a lot of smaller sins. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 27th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
The board had Trey Amos higher than Round 2, Pick 27, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 91 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Chris Paul Jr. while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They went early on Pat Bryant in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick 176 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at No. 178 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick No. 185 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
They robbed the room for Andres Borregales here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick213 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
A wild overpay on Xavier Truss in Round 6, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
R.J. Oben at the 245th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
