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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tyler Batty at pick No. 203, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The TeSlaa steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In slot 27 they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid up for Tate Ratledge at pick No. 59 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid sticker price for Mello Dotson in the 129th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at Round 4, Pick 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A conviction pick on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at the 176th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Fair-plus on Jack Nelson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in pick No. 203, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
They went early on Simeon Barrow Jr. in No. 210, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
They liked Alex Mastromanno enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 36. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaac TeSlaa at slot 243. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
