Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

Everything else got attention, and wide receiver got none. That is a strange way for the Ravens to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Fletcher Jr. at that price is a win they earned. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In the 14th overall pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore in pick 46 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Niki Prongos
By-the-book stuff, Niki Prongos at Round 4, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Kemari Copeland
Kemari Copeland at slot 177 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Ian Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Ian Moore at pick No. 179, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd6 John Curry
John Curry is a better player than the 219th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Melkart Abou Jaoude
Nice patience on Melkart Abou Jaoude, who had no business lasting to No. 235. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
