Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens land in the muddy middle: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Tyreak Sapp at Round 5, Pick 36 is 116 spots clear of where he belonged. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

Higgins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

So much rides on Armand Membou that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Darien Porter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darien Porter in the 55th pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan White
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan White this early at Round 4, Pick 34. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp in No. 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 176 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 David Walker
They let David Walker come to them and pounced at the 181st overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at the 200th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick 211 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A wild overpay on Micah Morris in Round 7, Pick 25, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
