Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall
D
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Ravens got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jared Ivey at No. 44, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Barron at that price is a win they earned.
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
Jahdae Barron
In the 27th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in pick 44 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy bit of business in the 94th pick, where Ozzy Trapilo graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161
Rnd5
Ryan Fitzgerald
By-the-book stuff, Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 161 squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick164
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190
Rnd6
CJ West
They did well to land CJ West in slot 190, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They took KeAndre Lambert-Smith at par in Round 6, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 210 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
No edge and no loss on Teddye Buchanan in pick 244; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
