Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Drew Kendall. He came off 127 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Parrish steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at Round 2, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to slot 91. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Steal is underselling it; Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick 136, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the 176th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick183 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Gray. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A reasonable price with a little left over, R.J. Mickens in pick No. 203. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gino Garcia in Round 6, Pick 34, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick212 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 212th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Drew Kendall
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Drew Kendall well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
