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

The Keyron Crawford pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 42 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Daniels pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In No. 14 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They liked Akheem Mesidor enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 45. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A tidy little value on Malik Muhammad in pick 80, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They took Keylan Rutledge at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Davison Igbinosun. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the 160th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 172 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the 173rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Nice patience on Jalon Daniels, who had no business lasting to slot 249. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford in pick 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
