Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 174 lands the Ravens a B, Sampson and all.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 37 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Ravens sat still while Dylan Sampson, the No. 65 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Jefferson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
No edge and no loss on Shavon Revel Jr. in Round 1, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at slot 59 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Taking Alfred Collins in the 91st overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Nick Nash
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Nash well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Steal is underselling it; Luke Kandra at pick No. 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in No. 174 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick201 Rnd6 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at pick 201 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tonka Hemingway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to No. 211, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 243rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
