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

Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Nash slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 27th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They let Marcus Mbow come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A tidy bit of business in the 91st overall pick, where Darien Porter graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
The board fumbled Jordan Phillips all the way to Round 4, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 136 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Somehow Nick Nash was still sitting there in No. 176, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Nothing to complain about; Jack Nelson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at slot 203 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick210 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in No. 210 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board had Jay Higgins higher than slot 212, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Nice patience on Ja'Corey Brooks, who had no business lasting to pick 243. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
