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

The Collin Oliver pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 140 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They banked enough surplus on Gabriel to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Armand Membou that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in the 59th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ahmed Hassanein
Ahmed Hassanein at pick 91 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in slot 129, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in the 176th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
A real head-scratcher, Collin Oliver in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at the 203rd pick, and the board did not agree. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Steal is underselling it; Nohl Williams at slot 212 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Value said wait; Bryson Nesbit in the 243rd overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
