Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
Larceny in No. 248 lands the Ravens a B+, Daniels and all.

When a board-topper like Jalon Daniels slides to pick No. 248, you do not overthink it, and the Ravens did not. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Puka Nacua deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at pick No. 47. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 78 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at Round 3, Pick 27 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Good price on Jack Endries in pick 113, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Hollywood Smothers
The board had cheaper options than Hollywood Smothers at the 146th pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 155th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They took Aaron Anderson at par in No. 174, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
They did well to land Isaiah Jatta in the 205th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jalon Daniels in slot 248, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hykeem Williams in the 252nd overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
