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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trajan Jeffcoat at slot 250, a reach of 53 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Smith-Wade value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell slipping to the 30th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at slot 62 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the 93rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 130 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at Round 4, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They robbed the room for Chau Smith-Wade here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in the 228th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
A big swing on Trajan Jeffcoat at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
