Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Aaron Frost pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 25 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on James to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the 30th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
A tidy little value on Kiran Amegadjie in slot 56, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 2, Pick 30. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 93 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James at the 131st pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at pick No. 134, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Aaron Frost at the 248th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
