Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Ravens. For now, C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Phillip Webb in No. 174, a good 109 spots before the room expected him. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The Henderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 26th pick they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 58 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hollin Pierce this early at the 90th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Zane Durant
They reached a country mile for Zane Durant at Round 4, Pick 34, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
They talked themselves into Phillip Webb at pick 174, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in the 175th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jamaree Caldwell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in slot 201 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Steven Parker
Steven Parker at Round 6, Pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at No. 242, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
