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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Eyabi Okie-Anoma at the 218th overall pick is 67 spots clear of where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 30th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Fair-plus on Payton Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick93 Rnd3 Luke McCaffrey
Value said wait; Luke McCaffrey in Round 3, Pick 30 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They paid sticker price for Dillon Johnson in the 165th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
Eyabi Okie-Anoma at No. 218 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
A wild overpay on Jowon Briggs in the 228th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
They paid up for C.J. Hanson at the 250th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
