Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Ravens get a C+.

The war room fell hard for Barryn Sorrell, and it showed at No. 185: 125 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The Tuten pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Trey Amos
They read the board right and Trey Amos was the payoff at No. 59. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jalen McLeod
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McLeod in Round 3, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Que Robinson
They reached into another round for Que Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They took Rylie Mills at par in the 136th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Addison West
A reach on Addison West in pick 176; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at slot 178 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick185 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
You do not let a running back like Bhayshul Tuten reach pick No. 205 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays at Round 6, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They did well to land Donovan Smith in the 245th pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
