Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens land in the muddy middle: C+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Vincent Anthony Jr. a full 69 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Wetjen to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
A reach for Cashius Howell in No. 14; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Romello Height
A wild overpay on Romello Height in pick No. 45, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick80 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Nice patience on Antonio Williams, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
A straight-up fair deal on Billy Schrauth at the 115th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They paid a round early for Kage Casey in the 154th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at slot 162 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at slot 173 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A quiet steal in pick No. 174: Demond Claiborne for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric O'Neill in the 211th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kaden Wetjen at the 251st pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They jumped the gun on Bryce Foster, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
