Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Jaylan Ford, 66 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Fautanu value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In pick No. 29 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick92 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A big swing on Adisa Isaac at the 92nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 4, Pick 29 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick134 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Troy Fautanu in slot 134. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
