Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

Nobody else had Oluwafemi Oladejo anywhere near the 91st overall pick. The Ravens did, by 145 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pierce. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in pick 59, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A big swing on Oluwafemi Oladejo at No. 91, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tory Horton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach the 128th pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 136th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens slipping to slot 176 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They read the board right and Jack Nelson was the payoff at No. 178. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Nice patience on Quincy Riley, who had no business lasting to the 185th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Kiser in the 205th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They reached a country mile for Ty Hamilton at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
