Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Zy Alexander, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Gillotte steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Ashton Gillotte in No. 64, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jonah Monheim
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jonah Monheim in pick No. 96. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in slot 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 160th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
By-the-book stuff, Jaishawn Barham at Round 6, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Burch
They talked themselves into Jordan Burch at pick No. 224, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
