Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Barton should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lander Barton got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 27 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 59, where JT Tuimoloau graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at pick 91 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in the 128th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They will replay Jordan Phillips at the 136th pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Scott in Round 5, Pick 37. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A clean, defensible pick in slot 178 with a little surplus value in Chase Lundt. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Lander Barton
You do not let a linebacker like Lander Barton reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jason Marshall Jr. still on the board at the 213th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in No. 245 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
