Draft Grade — Ravens

The Ravens landed square in the muddy middle: C+. The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Keaten Wade at No. 172 regardless, 109 picks early. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Fields falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 14th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in Round 2, Pick 13 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They let Malachi Fields come to them and pounced at slot 80. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Kage Casey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kage Casey this early at pick 115. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick No. 152 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160
Rnd5
Kamran James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kamran James. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in pick 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Zuhn III well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
Khordae Sydnor at pick No. 249 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252
Rnd7
DeVonta Smith
They talked themselves into DeVonta Smith at Round 7, Pick 36, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
