Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Ravens got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Phillip Webb pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 102 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 30 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the 56th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 59th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They went early on Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 30, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Brown
A reach for Logan Brown in pick 129; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A straight-up fair deal on O'Donnell Fortune at No. 150, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in No. 155 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 CJ West
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ West in the 168th overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 176 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They liked KeAndre Lambert-Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 190. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 191 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in Round 6, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at the 208th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
