Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Washington. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tahj Washington at No. 228 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cost of the Hanson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in No. 62 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
No drama and no debate, Chau Smith-Wade went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 30. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 135th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A safety of that caliber at slot 165 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Somehow Tahj Washington was still sitting there in the 228th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
Value said wait; C.J. Hanson in pick 250 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
