Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Ravens to a C.

Somebody took the Ravens to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Kamara has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Newton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Hit on Tyler Guyton and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 30th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They went early on Xavier Legette in slot 62, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 113th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Value with a capital V on Josh Newton in pick 130, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick218 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A wild overpay on Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 6, Pick 43, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick228 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nathan Thomas. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
They liked Emani Bailey enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
