Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
The phones sank the Ravens this weekend: D-.

The Ravens torched the value chart for Phillip Webb, taking him 109 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on specialist with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. The Higgins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Watts at the 39th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached a country mile for Darien Porter at slot 45, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They did well to land Jayden Higgins in the 63rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Donovan Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 66. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They jumped the gun on Cobee Bryant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Logan Brown
The board had cheaper options than Logan Brown at No. 128, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andres Borregales at specialist with quarterback open.
Pick138 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 138 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at the 161st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 164 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jay Higgins at pick No. 217 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick220 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
This one needs a full-page explanation: Collin Oliver in the 220th pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A big swing on Phillip Webb at slot 236, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A wild overpay on Marcus Yarns in the 241st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
