Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Mickens from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. R.J. Mickens had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They will need Roberts to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 27 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They reached into another round for Jared Ivey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
They talked themselves into Elijah Roberts at pick No. 129, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 136th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in Round 5, Pick 38, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alex Mastromanno well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick203 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
A straight-up fair deal on Robert Longerbeam at No. 203, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in Round 6, Pick 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
A reach on Ja'Corey Brooks in No. 212; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
You do not let a safety like R.J. Mickens reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
