Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Ravens started one anyway for Phillip Webb, 126 picks ahead of schedule.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Ravens paired the rookies with proven help, Darius Slay leading the way.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick152 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Fair-plus on Logan Brown, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
No edge and no loss on Andres Borregales in pick 157; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 160. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 161st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 30, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They jumped the gun on Vernon Broughton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 CJ West
The board had cheaper options than CJ West at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 179th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at slot 183 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at pick 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at the 201st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at pick No. 216, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
A wild overpay on Phillip Webb in No. 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
