Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot, a reach of 81 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
They paid sticker price for Ashton Gillotte in Round 2, Pick 27, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A conviction pick on Charles Grant at No. 91 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They paid a round early for Pat Bryant in the 128th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A wild overpay on Jacob Parrish in pick No. 136, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
You do not let a tight end like Mitchell Evans reach slot 176 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in slot 178, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 185 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 205 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
They read the board right and Kyle Monangai was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
