Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Moore at pick No. 160, a reach of 56 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 14th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in pick 45 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They paid sticker price for Joe Royer in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A reach for Kaleb Proctor in pick No. 152; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 172nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 173 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick249 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in the 249th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They jumped the gun on Robert Spears-Jennings, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
