Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Oluwafemi Oladejo, 145 picks ahead of schedule. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Riley pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Nothing to complain about; Nick Emmanwori went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 59 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They reached a country mile for Oluwafemi Oladejo at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the 128th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They paid sticker price for Pat Bryant in No. 136, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
The board had DJ Giddens higher than Round 5, Pick 37, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in pick 178 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A quiet steal in pick No. 185: Quincy Riley for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They paid up for Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 6, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
They left a pile of value on the table to take R.J. Oben this early at slot 245. It fills a real need, too.
