Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

The Ravens spent real capital to be 112 picks early on Tyler Batty, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Sanker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the 27th pick they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They reached a country mile for Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 59, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 RJ Oben
RJ Oben in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at Round 4, Pick 34 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at slot 176 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Gabriel at the 183rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the 203rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick No. 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at pick 212. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jonas Sanker in slot 243, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
