Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
D-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesF
FutureD
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the D-. Some picks age like wine; Phillip Webb at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 93 spots clear of his grade. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Ravens indulged a want in Simon while a need in tight end stayed open. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
The Pierce pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In pick 27 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick39
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
No drama and no debate, Xavier Watts went about where he belonged in the 39th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick41
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 41 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick59
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
They paid up for Isaiah Bond at pick No. 59 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
They talked themselves into Ashton Gillotte at No. 74, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cody Simon
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 24. Tight end needed the pick; a linebacker in Cody Simon did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 121, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jordan James
Fair-plus on Jordan James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 129th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 136th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Logan Brown
The board had Logan Brown higher than slot 157, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
They paid sticker price for Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 38, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212
Rnd6
Gino Garcia
They reached a country mile for Gino Garcia at pick 212, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick233
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
Value said wait; Phillip Webb in pick No. 233 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
