Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 169 lands the Ravens a B-, Pritchett and all.

When a board-topper like Nehemiah Pritchett slides to the Round 5 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Ravens did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

It is not that Gray is a bad player; it is that the Ravens had louder needs to answer first. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 64. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Taking Christian Haynes in pick No. 95 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, wide receiver and other spots to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 134th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in pick 169, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in slot 253 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
