Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and Nash: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nick Nash tumbling to the Ravens in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 27 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aireontae Ersery at the 59th overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darien Porter at the 91st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They did well to land O'Donnell Fortune in No. 128, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They barely believed it either: Nick Nash still on the board at Round 5, Pick 37. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 185 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 205th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 213th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
Nothing to complain about; Miles Frazier went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
