Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

Nobody had Malik Washington this high, and it is not close. The Ravens reached 160 spots to get him at pick No. 253.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 32 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at No. 64 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at pick 95 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in the 134th pick, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick169 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in slot 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
A wild overpay on Malik Washington in No. 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
