Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Ravens shredded theirs for Jaylan Ford. He came off 40 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A reach on Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 30; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at the 93rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in No. 130 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 135 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 165th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Evan Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Evan Williams in Round 7, Pick 8. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick250 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
They jumped the gun on Emani Bailey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
