Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB
The Ravens let Cowing fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Ravens were there to profit. Jacob Cowing, the No. 185 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 250. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Sanders left real value on the table behind him.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at No. 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick61 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 61st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Nothing to complain about; Caelen Carson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 99th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 150 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Taking Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 5, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
Somehow Jacob Cowing was still sitting there in No. 250, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
