Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Ravens: C+.

The Ravens did not so much draft Stephiylan Green as overpay for him, 200 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Lawson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Deontae Lawson
In pick 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick63 Rnd2 Adepoju Adebawore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Adepoju Adebawore well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the 95th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at No. 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan White
Jordan White in pick No. 170 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson at slot 172 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Samson Okunlola
A real head-scratcher, Samson Okunlola in the 175th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Stephiylan Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stephiylan Green. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Johntay Cook II
Johntay Cook II slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Cormani McClain
They reached a country mile for Cormani McClain at slot 246, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
