Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Staley from sliding. Grade: C+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Braylon Staley tumbling to the Ravens in slot 219 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

They are betting Baker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

So much rides on Brandon Baker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Brandon Baker
In pick 29 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Brice Pollock
They paid a round early for Brice Pollock in the 61st pick, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at Round 4, Pick 29 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd5 John Curry
The board had John Curry higher than pick No. 176, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Aaron Flowers
Fair-plus on Aaron Flowers, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219 Rnd6 Braylon Staley
Taking Braylon Staley in slot 219 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Emerson Mandell
They jumped the gun on Emerson Mandell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
