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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Barryn Sorrell in pick No. 245, a good 83 spots before the room expected him.

That is an offensive lineman 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 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at the Round 1 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A premium they did not need to pay, Kyle Kennard a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 91st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to slot 128, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A conviction pick on Pat Bryant at Round 4, Pick 35 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 176 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in slot 178 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Nice patience on Dorian Strong, who had no business lasting to the 185th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Lindenberg. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
They read the board right and Kyle Monangai was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 35. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at pick 245. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
