Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Jalen Rivers, 96 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sawyer. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A big swing on Denzel Burke at No. 55, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jack Sawyer in the 86th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
A wild overpay on Bear Alexander in slot 125, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Connor Colby
A real head-scratcher, Connor Colby in the 135th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at pick No. 176 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 LT Overton
A slide stopped in the 198th pick, with LT Overton worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 211 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
They talked themselves into Jalen Rivers at the 240th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
