Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens torched the value chart for Jack Nelson, taking him 28 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 32nd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in slot 64 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
A conviction pick on Wyatt Milum at No. 96 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Good price on Keon Sabb in pick 128, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
A reach on Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 160; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A wild overpay on Jack Nelson in Round 6, Pick 32, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Damon Payne Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Damon Payne Jr. a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
