Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Da'Shawn Womack, 61 picks ahead of schedule. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Getting Daniels where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They went early on Trevor Goosby in No. 48, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at Round 4, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zane Durant this early at the 156th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 162 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Nwankpa a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick248 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
They talked themselves into Da'Shawn Womack at pick No. 248, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at the 252nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
