Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joshua Gray at the 91st pick regardless, 101 picks early. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The Bryant steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback 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.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A tidy little value on Marcus Mbow in pick 59, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Joshua Gray
Value said wait; Joshua Gray in pick No. 91 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 128th pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at the 136th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at slot 176 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at pick No. 178 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at the 185th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
By-the-book stuff, Robert Longerbeam at pick 205 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the 213th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell in Round 7, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
