Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the 222nd overall pick on Jordan Burch, a name most had 39 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Scourton at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In slot 30 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ajani Cornelius
By-the-book stuff, Ajani Cornelius at No. 62 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ricky White
They reached into another round for Ricky White, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
They went early on Keon Sabb in the 126th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at pick 158 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at Round 6, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
