Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

Nobody had Bear Alexander this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 35 spots to get him at pick No. 172. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Edwards.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ryan Wingo
A clean, defensible pick in No. 45 with a little surplus value in Ryan Wingo. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at pick 80 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at Round 4, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at slot 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick No. 160 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
They reached a country mile for Bear Alexander at Round 5, Pick 34, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Malik Hartford
A big swing on Malik Hartford at No. 173, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dylan Edwards
A quiet steal in the 249th pick: Dylan Edwards for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Christian Gray
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Gray at the 252nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
