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

The Ravens torched the value chart for Trevor Etienne, taking him 102 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

On value alone, Membou makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Domani Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Domani Jackson at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Nothing to complain about; Kyle Kennard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124 Rnd4 Blake Miller
They paid up for Blake Miller at No. 124 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick No. 135 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Somehow Armand Membou was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 21, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
No drama and no debate, Shemar Turner went about where he belonged in the 174th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Elijah Roberts
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Roberts at slot 199, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at the 211th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A wild overpay on Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick No. 237, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
