Draft Grade — Ravens

FutureB-
The Ravens bet the future on Daniels. The board says D-. The phones were a trap the Ravens kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Reaching for Washington left real value on the table behind him.
The Ravens indulged a want in Gray while a need in tight end stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In pick 6 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In No. 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 4, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick39
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They jumped the gun on Edgerrin Cooper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick54
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
They let Kris Jenkins come to them and pounced at the 54th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in pick No. 56, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A big swing on Cooper Beebe at the 58th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Trey Benson
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at the 64th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick 77 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 95 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Malik Washington
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malik Washington this early at the 97th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 4, Pick 19 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick167
Rnd5
Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in slot 167; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
