Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Ravens to a D.

The Ravens did not so much draft Phillip Webb as overpay for him, 106 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

With running back and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Ezeiruaku in slot 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 56 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in No. 62; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in the 75th overall pick: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 22 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick 129 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
They bypassed pressing needs at running back and quarterback to take Andres Borregales, a specialist that was not the priority.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They reached into another round for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 176th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 CJ West
No drama and no debate, CJ West went about where he belonged in No. 183. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Nothing to complain about; KeAndre Lambert-Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in slot 212, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at Round 7, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
