Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

There is reaching, and then there is Jimmy Horn Jr. at No. 213. The Ravens jumped the board by 119 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Hancock pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slipping to pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at slot 128 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
A wild overpay on Chase Lundt in No. 136, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at Round 5, Pick 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in Round 6, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A tidy bit of business in pick 205, where Jordan Hancock graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They talked themselves into Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 213th pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith at slot 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
