Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Ravens spent real capital to be 110 picks early on Phillip Webb, and the board is going to hold them to it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They banked enough surplus on Phillips to cover a lot of smaller sins. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 27 they get juice off the edge at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They paid sticker price for Xavier Watts in No. 44, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick50 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in the 50th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the Round 2 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Bond in Round 3, Pick 16. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No edge and no loss on Charles Grant in the 85th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 129 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in pick No. 150, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales at No. 155 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick158 Rnd5 CJ West
A wild overpay on CJ West in the 158th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They went early on Oronde Gadsden II in pick 183, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 203rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A straight-up fair deal on R.J. Mickens at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teddye Buchanan. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick212 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver in the 212th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
