Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C-
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C- for the Ravens.

Nobody else had Nicholas Rodriguez anywhere near slot 179. The Ravens did, by 198 spots, and that gap is the whole story. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Perry pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

So much rides on Eli Bowen that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Eli Bowen
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ryan Coleman-Williams
Ryan Coleman-Williams at slot 46 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tavion Gadson
They reached into another round for Tavion Gadson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 DeSean Bishop
They talked themselves into DeSean Bishop at pick No. 117, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd5 Dezz Ricks
They reached a country mile for Dezz Ricks at the 177th overall pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd5 Nicholas Rodriguez
Nicholas Rodriguez at Round 5, Pick 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jesse Perry
Circle this one: Jesse Perry at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick236 Rnd7 CJ Bailey
The board had CJ Bailey higher than No. 236, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
