Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens let Phillips fall and pounced. Final grade: D.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan Phillips, the No. 108 name on the board, stolen at slot 176.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Burke 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.

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 Emeka Egbuka
No drama and no debate, Emeka Egbuka went about where he belonged in pick No. 27. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They barely believed it either: Jack Sawyer still on the board at slot 59. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 91, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A big swing on Denzel Burke at the 92nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Steal is underselling it; Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 David Walker
David Walker in No. 136 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in the 176th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at Round 6, Pick 7 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylen Reed at pick No. 203 is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at No. 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They let Tyler Cooper come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
