Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 226, roughly 50 spots before his name belonged.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Ravens had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

Landing Murphy II that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in Round 3, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Javon Foster
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in slot 95, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in the 102nd pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and edge rusher to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick129 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
They reached a country mile for Dillon Johnson at No. 129, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They jumped the gun on Tykee Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 157 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
By-the-book stuff, Kamal Hadden at pick No. 162 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Value said wait; Taulia Tagovailoa in slot 226 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
