Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Fautanu: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Troy Fautanu had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 30, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 93rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
The board fumbled Payton Wilson all the way to slot 113, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Steal is underselling it; DeWayne Carter at No. 130 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. still on the board at Round 5, Pick 29. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach the 218th overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Circle this one: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 228 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 250th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
