Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

FutureB-
The Ravens went off-script early, and it cost them a F. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Phillip Webb, 114 picks early at No. 231.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. With running back and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left running back open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 30 they get a premier pass rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in slot 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103
Rnd4
David Walker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on David Walker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in No. 129 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132
Rnd4
Andres Borregales
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went specialist with Andres Borregales while clear needs at running back and quarterback sat open.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 136, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in Round 5, Pick 12, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oronde Gadsden II. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
CJ West
They paid sticker price for CJ West in No. 183, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jay Higgins at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick204
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 204th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at pick No. 210, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Collin Oliver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Collin Oliver well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 231st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
