Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Ellis Robinson IV went at the Round 1 slot, a good 20 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Carter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In No. 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at pick 45 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
They reached into another round for Trey'Dez Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
A tidy little value on Whit Weeks in the 115th pick, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
No edge and no loss on Iapani Laloulu in the 152nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Noah Carter
Noah Carter at Round 5, Pick 22 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at No. 172 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
They took Evan Stewart at par in the 173rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Derek Williams Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Derek Williams Jr. at pick No. 249, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick252 Rnd7 Christian Gray
Christian Gray at pick 252 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
