Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The phones sank the Ravens this weekend: F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Ravens did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Newton has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They took Xavier Legette at par in No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 62nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in Round 3, Pick 3 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in pick No. 93, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They liked Leonard Taylor III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 101. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 131st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at slot 134, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A reach for Jaylan Ford in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slid further than he should have, and No. 228 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
