Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Lew fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Connor Lew, the No. 82 name on the board, stolen at the Round 4 slot. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A slide stopped in slot 45, with Brandon Cisse worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Somehow Lee Hunter was still sitting there in the 80th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to the 115th pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
The board had Dametrious Crownover higher than the Round 5 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They did well to land Marlin Klein in pick 162, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 173 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Reggie Virgil in pick No. 174. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in the 211th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Circle this one: Andre Fuller at pick 250 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A tidy bit of business in slot 253, where Fa'alili Fa'amoe graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
