Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Gino Garcia in the 212th pick, a good 86 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Getting Mondon Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyler Booker a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 59 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at the 91st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in Round 5, Pick 38 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 183, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in No. 210 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
A big swing on Gino Garcia at Round 6, Pick 36, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa is a better player than the 243rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
