Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent No. 131 on DJ Campbell, a name most had 55 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Muhammad steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In pick 31 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 David Bailey
A reach for David Bailey in the 63rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
They paid up for Monroe Freeling at the 95th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 131 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
A wild overpay on Patrick Payton in Round 5, Pick 5, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at slot 170 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson at pick 175 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tristan Leigh. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trey Leckner
They jumped the gun on Trey Leckner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Johntay Cook II
They did well to land Johntay Cook II in the 244th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zach Rice
A big swing on Zach Rice at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
