Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
The Ravens worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 16 will need to, sitting 90 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Washington.

Adding Maxx Crosby by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 14 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick75 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at pick 75 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 16 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They paid a round early for Chase Bisontis in No. 111, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick115 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They reached into another round for Charles Jagusah, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry is a better player than the 152nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at slot 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172 Rnd5 Zane Durant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zane Durant in the Round 5 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 173rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A straight-up fair deal on Tristan Leigh at pick 249, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in pick No. 252 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
