Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Wilson: D-.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Jefferson, taking him 54 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Wilson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Gray pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 17 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick No. 62 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Circle this one: Patrick Paul at pick 70 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still on the board at pick 82. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
The board fumbled Mike Sainristil all the way to pick No. 101, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They robbed the room for Josh Newton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 18 on Cedric Gray with tight end unsolved.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at the 131st overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
They will replay Roman Wilson at the 136th pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 143, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Good price on Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They read the board right and Joe Milton III was the payoff at the 181st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 193rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick 230 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
