Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Harvey should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. RJ Harvey had no business being available in No. 243, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Bryant pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the 27th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 59th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 27, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 127 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
They reached a country mile for Kobe Hudson at pick No. 181, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick 201 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to slot 207, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Value said wait; Clay Webb in pick 211 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at the 243rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
