Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Bond fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Isaiah Bond tumbling to the Ravens in Round 5, Pick 38 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Rucker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Hit on Jared Ivey and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jared Ivey
In pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kaimon Rucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaimon Rucker this early at the 59th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at slot 91 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 129 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to Round 4, Pick 34, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 176th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They robbed the room for Chase Lundt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 203 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Taking JJ Pegues in slot 210 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
They barely believed it either: Phil Mafah still on the board at Round 6, Pick 36. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Cam Horsley in pick 243, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
