Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Ravens: C+.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Taulia Tagovailoa, taking him 51 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jonathon Brooks
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game, a steep price for the projection.
Pick64 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in slot 64, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick132 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in Round 4, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at pick No. 134, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Taulia Tagovailoa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taulia Tagovailoa this early at pick 169. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 253 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
