Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Ravens bet big and early on Jalen Travis, 77 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Brooks at that price is a win they earned.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at No. 59 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 91st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish slid further than he should have, and pick 129 is lovely value for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 136. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 CJ West
A straight-up fair deal on CJ West at the 183rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 203 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
They let Tahj Brooks come to them and pounced at the 210th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at No. 212, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 7, Pick 27 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
