Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 192 lands the Ravens a B-, Daniels and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalon Daniels, the 192nd pick, roughly 30 picks past where he belonged.

They are betting Payne Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
A clean, defensible pick in the 32nd overall pick with a little surplus value in Princely Umanmielen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 32, with Xavier Restrepo worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jonah Monheim
Nice patience on Jonah Monheim, who had no business lasting to the 96th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in pick 128 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
A big swing on Jaishawn Barham at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels in No. 192 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Damon Payne Jr.
Damon Payne Jr. at slot 224 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
