Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Ravens let Horton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tory Horton, the No. 110 name on the board, in No. 183.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

The dealing was even money, start to finish.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 27 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the 129th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in Round 5, Pick 4, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tory Horton
Somehow Tory Horton was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They barely believed it either: Chase Lundt still on the board at pick No. 203. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
You do not let a cornerback like Quincy Riley reach pick 210 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in No. 218 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 221 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick No. 242 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
The board fumbled Jonas Sanker all the way to Round 7, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
