Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Zion Logue. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Trice that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bralen Trice at pick 62. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in slot 93 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Value with a capital V on Josh Newton in the 131st pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in pick No. 134 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 164th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick226 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LaDarius Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in pick No. 248, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
