Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Ravens reached some 42 spots for Jaylen Harrell, and value like that does not grow back. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thrash. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Hit on Adonai Mitchell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Patrick Paul at pick 56 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in Round 2, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Robinson in No. 95, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jarrian Jones. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick No. 127 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They talked themselves into Braelon Allen at No. 130, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Circle this one: Dominick Puni at Round 4, Pick 31 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick 134 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 158th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Value said wait; Jaylen Harrell in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They read the board right and Daequan Hardy was the payoff at slot 248. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
You do not let a running back like Jase McClellan reach the 250th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
