Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

FutureB-
The Ravens let Royer fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Ravens were there to profit. Joe Royer, the No. 119 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot.
The Rutledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
KC Concepcion
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
LT Overton
LT Overton at pick No. 45 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
They paid a round early for J.C. Davis in No. 115, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 154th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick 162 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Joe Royer
They barely believed it either: Joe Royer still on the board at the 173rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bryce Lance
Circle this one: Bryce Lance at slot 174 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
They paid up for Zxavian Harris at pick 211 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett in No. 250 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253
Rnd7
Alan Herron
Alan Herron in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
