Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ward should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cameron Ward, pick No. 166, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Kamara reach is exactly the players who went right after him. With cornerback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on defensive back is the choice that costs them.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They liked Kingsley Suamataia enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 36. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Leonard Taylor III. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Max Melton
They bypassed pressing needs at cornerback, wide receiver and other spots to take Max Melton, a defensive back that was not the priority.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
They reached a country mile for Mohamed Kamara at the 100th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
They paid up for Tyler Guyton at pick 129 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cameron Ward
They barely believed it either: Cameron Ward still on the board at Round 5, Pick 30. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
