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

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Harold Perkins Jr., 22 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They banked enough surplus on Iheanachor to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In the 19th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, even if it was a touch early.
Pick51 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 51st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in pick No. 83 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in slot 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They paid up for Kyle Louis at Round 5, Pick 19 when waiting would have done the job. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Darian Mensah
No edge and no loss on Darian Mensah in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Iheanachor in the 174th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at pick 175 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A straight-up fair deal on Tristan Leigh at slot 249, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joenel Aguero
A reach for Joenel Aguero in No. 253; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
