Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Jay Higgins pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 24 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. James falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 27th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard in No. 59 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 27 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at pick No. 129 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
A big swing on O'Donnell Fortune at the 136th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in pick 176 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jay Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Fair-plus on Oronde Gadsden II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at Round 6, Pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 212. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
