Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens land in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and it showed at the Round 4 slot: 71 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The final tally is a middling C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Mullings pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan Fairchild in No. 59, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They let Darien Porter come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 27. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at slot 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hollin Pierce. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings is a better player than pick No. 176 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at Round 6, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They did well to land KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 203, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick No. 212 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
They reached a country mile for Ethan Downs at pick 243, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
