Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Ravens, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

The TeSlaa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Landing Bowman Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 27 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in the 57th pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea is a better player than pick No. 59 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in the 91st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
They read the board right and Billy Bowman Jr. was the payoff at No. 129. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nazir Stackhouse. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A wild overpay on Isaac TeSlaa in Round 6, Pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slipping to slot 212 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 243rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
