Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Moore Jr.. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let DeAndre Moore Jr. slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at the 131st overall pick. Highway robbery.

Reaching for Umanmielen left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Aamil Wagner
In No. 31 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Connor Lew
A reach for Connor Lew in Round 2, Pick 31; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 95 with a little surplus value in Gracen Halton. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at slot 131 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 143rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in pick 170 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
A big swing on Princewill Umanmielen at the 172nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Alex Birchmeier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alex Birchmeier well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Good price on Ethan O'Connor in pick 244, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
You do not let a safety like Jalen Catalon reach pick No. 246 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
