Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and Simmons: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Josh Simmons had no business being available in No. 127, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Shand lower, and that gap is the story. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Fair-plus on Josh Conerly Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at Round 4, Pick 5 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Josh Simmons
Taking Josh Simmons in the 127th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Paris Shand
A wild overpay on Paris Shand in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
A tidy little value on Gentry Williams in the 190th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zy Alexander in pick 197. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in pick No. 222 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
Value with a capital V on Jalil Farooq in No. 223, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
