Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

Nobody else had Jordan Hall anywhere near slot 253. The Ravens did, by 61 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Daniels pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
A straight-up fair deal on Arvell Reese at pick 13, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick44 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in pick No. 44, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A quiet steal in slot 78: Germie Bernard for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A reach for Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the 113th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
No edge and no loss on Terrance Carter Jr. in No. 152; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ Daniels. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A reach on DJ Campbell in pick No. 175; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in the 249th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They reached a country mile for Jordan Hall at the 253rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
