Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Davin Vann selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 68 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Sauls value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 27 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Nice patience on Marcus Mbow, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 27. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 91st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rylie Mills. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nohl Williams at No. 136 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jaydon Blue
They paid sticker price for Jaydon Blue in slot 176, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Nick Nash
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Nick Nash in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the 203rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
Taking Ben Sauls in Round 6, Pick 34 is close to grand larceny; a specialist that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Somehow Oronde Gadsden II was still sitting there in No. 212, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick 243 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
