Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB+
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Derrick Moore at the Round 4 slot is 40 spots clear of where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Antonio Williams reach No. 80 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They paid sticker price for Domani Jackson in the 112th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
They reached into another round for Derrick Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge slid further than he should have, and slot 152 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They took DeMonte Capehart at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Good price on Jalen Stroman in Round 5, Pick 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick173 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A reach for Aamil Wagner in pick No. 173; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
No drama and no debate, Aaron Graves went about where he belonged in slot 177. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 249th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at pick 252 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
