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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Ravens spent pick No. 143 on Patrick Payton, a name the board had a full 31 spots lower.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tim Keenan III
They took Tim Keenan III at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
A big swing on Evan Stewart at pick 95, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at No. 131 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A real head-scratcher, Patrick Payton in slot 143 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Good price on Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 170, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick172 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
The board had cheaper options than DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 34, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Tristan Leigh
They went early on Tristan Leigh in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dylan Edwards
Value said wait; Dylan Edwards in pick 244 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Riley Williams
No drama and no debate, Riley Williams went about where he belonged in No. 246. A need, and now a little less of one.
