Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Braylan Shelby at No. 174 is 52 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Daniels that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 LT Overton
In the 16th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick47 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They paid sticker price for Trevor Goosby in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at the 82nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks at slot 117 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Nice patience on Demond Claiborne, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 16. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zane Durant well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby in the 174th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at Round 7, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dasan McCullough. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
