Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Ravens: C.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Phillip Webb at No. 210, roughly 116 spots before his name belonged.

Landing Rourke that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Jordan Burch that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jordan Burch
In the 27th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick59 Rnd2 Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at slot 59. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
A wild overpay on Vernon Broughton in No. 91, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at pick 176 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at pick 183 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 203 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
They reached a country mile for Phillip Webb at the 210th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 212 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick243 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Steal is underselling it; Craig Woodson at pick No. 243 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
