Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Torricelli Simpkins III at No. 128 regardless, 121 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Wease Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 59th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jackson in slot 91. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached a country mile for Torricelli Simpkins III at the 128th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sai'vion Jones. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 178 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at pick 185 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Zeek Biggers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zeek Biggers this early at pick No. 205. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
By-the-book stuff, Jermari Harris at No. 213 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Circle this one: Theo Wease Jr. at the 245th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
