FutureA+
The Ravens won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Dominic Zvada at pick 158, roughly 87 spots before his name belonged.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Landing Banks that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Germie Bernard
In slot 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick17
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 17 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the 19th pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick45
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
A slide stopped in No. 45, with Caleb Banks worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick50
Rnd2
Anthony Lucas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Lucas. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Deontae Lawson
They took Deontae Lawson at par in the 51st pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54
Rnd2
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at pick 54 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They paid sticker price for Domonique Orange in the 68th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 3, Pick 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Boubacar Traore
A real head-scratcher, Boubacar Traore in slot 98 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
Nothing to complain about; D'Angelo Ponds went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They did well to land Zachariah Branch in No. 119, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They talked themselves into Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in Round 5, Pick 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153
Rnd5
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at the 153rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick157
Rnd5
Trey Moore
Trey Moore in pick No. 157 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158
Rnd5
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jalen Stroman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen Stroman in pick 161. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick173
Rnd5
Raylen Wilson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raylen Wilson in slot 173, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in the 174th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199
Rnd6
Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at No. 199 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235
Rnd7
Ethan Onianwa
They jumped the gun on Ethan Onianwa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
