Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Ravens, and a C to match.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the Round 1 slot on Quinn Carroll, a name most had 248 spots down the list. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

They banked enough surplus on Nolen to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Quinn Carroll
In slot 27 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Luke Kandra
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Kandra in pick 59, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 27 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 128th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 136 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 176th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kai Kroeger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kai Kroeger this early at slot 178. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jah Joyner
They will replay Jah Joyner at pick No. 205 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
A wild overpay on Joey Slackman in Round 6, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley in pick 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
