Draft Grade — Ravens

The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the 160th overall pick on Logan Fano, a name most had 79 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harvey. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all.
Pick45 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
They paid sticker price for Caleb Tiernan in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A wild overpay on Mikail Kamara in pick No. 80, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They did well to land Deion Burks in the 115th pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at pick 152 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick160 Rnd5 Logan Fano
They reached a country mile for Logan Fano at the 160th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 David Gusta
David Gusta in pick No. 172 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
Cyrus Allen is a better player than pick 173 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in Round 7, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Foster at No. 252, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
