Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Legette from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in the 129th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Ravens sat still while Xavier Legette, the No. 74 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They are betting Hanson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terrion Arnold in slot 30. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at No. 62 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
They will replay Xavier Legette at pick No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They paid up for Justin Eboigbe at pick 134 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Brennan Jackson a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at the 164th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick228 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in Round 7, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
This one needs a full-page explanation: C.J. Hanson in the 250th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
