Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

There is reaching, and then there is Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 91. The Ravens jumped the board by 141 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Milroe steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They read the board right and Aireontae Ersery was the payoff at the 59th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A wild overpay on Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 91, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Circle this one: Jalen Milroe at slot 128 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Somehow Tory Horton was still sitting there in the 136th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Parrish well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt is a better player than pick 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JJ Pegues at pick No. 185. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 27: Jack Kiser for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at the 213th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
A real head-scratcher, Nohl Williams in slot 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
