Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

The Ravens bet big and early on Malik Washington, 160 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Braswell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 64th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
The board fumbled Chris Braswell all the way to pick No. 95, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Good price on Tykee Smith in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 134 with a little surplus value in Smael Mondon Jr.. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ricky Pearsall. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malik Washington in No. 253, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
