TO PICK
 
Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Ravens left wide receiver untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Melton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 29 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
No drama and no debate, Byron Murphy II went about where he belonged in pick 61. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
They paid a round early for Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 20, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
