Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesD FutureC+
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Ewers: C+.

The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Quinn Ewers, the No. 92 name on the board, sitting there at slot 176 like a gift left on the doorstep. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The cost of the Lane reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Ravens indulged a want in Mondon Jr. while a need in interior defensive lineman and edge rusher stayed open.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

So much rides on Jalon Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In pick No. 27 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. More want than need.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in the 61st overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 27 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in pick 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A curious use of slot 128. Interior defensive lineman and edge rusher needed the pick; a linebacker in Smael Mondon Jr. did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They paid a round early for Logan Brown in No. 136, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Quinn Ewers
Somehow Quinn Ewers was still sitting there in the 176th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Circle this one: Andres Borregales at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick185 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
They will replay Mitchell Evans at Round 6, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at the 205th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
By-the-book stuff, Robert Longerbeam at pick No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Hayden Conner in slot 213. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
A wild overpay on Jaylin Lane in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
