Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 4, Pick 30: the Ravens steal James and grade out a B.

The Ravens did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and DJ James fell into the Round 4 slot. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Briggs left real value on the table behind him.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In No. 30 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 62nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in pick No. 93 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at pick 113 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Keegan at the 165th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 218 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bub Means
A reach on Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 8; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs in the 250th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
