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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Ethan Downs in the 129th overall pick, a good 153 spots before the room expected him. The final tally is a middling C+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harvey. Spending an early pick on specialist with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 27 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in Round 2, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ben Sauls
A want over a need in No. 91: Ben Sauls adds a specialist while interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ethan Downs
Value said wait; Ethan Downs in pick No. 129 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Davin Vann
They talked themselves into Davin Vann at the 136th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kobe King
Somehow Kobe King was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They liked Tyler Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They paid a round early for Jordan Hancock in No. 203, more than the board wanted. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 210, where Jason Marshall Jr. graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 212th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick243 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 243 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
