Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Ravens shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They are betting Turner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is TeSlaa.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 27th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 59th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 6 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Good price on Cobee Bryant in pick No. 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
A reach on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in No. 176; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
By-the-book stuff, Luke Lachey at slot 203 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 34 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick No. 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
