Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens spent real capital to be 27 picks early on Tyler Batty, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In the 27th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A reach for Kyle Kennard in Round 2, Pick 27; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at pick No. 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 LeQuint Allen
No edge and no loss on LeQuint Allen in slot 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They took Jack Nelson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A big swing on Jalen McLeod at slot 183, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Fair-plus on Nazir Stackhouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in Round 6, Pick 36 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
They went early on Jeremy Crawshaw in the 243rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
