Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Addison West at pick 91, roughly 103 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Rourke to cover a lot of smaller sins. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They took Azareye'h Thomas at par in the 59th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Addison West
Addison West in pick 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board fumbled Tory Horton all the way to slot 129, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 136th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at Round 5, Pick 38 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at Round 6, Pick 7 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
They paid a round early for Alex Mastromanno in pick No. 203, more than the board wanted. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at the 210th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They reached a country mile for Seth McLaughlin at pick 212, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
They talked themselves into Dayon Hayes at the 243rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
