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

Nobody else had Jowon Briggs anywhere near slot 250. The Ravens did, by 21 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
No edge and no loss on Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 62; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in slot 93 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Khyree Jackson in No. 113, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They paid sticker price for Malik Mustapha in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 29. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd6 Blake Watson
A quiet steal in the 218th overall pick: Blake Watson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 228th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jowon Briggs in pick 250, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
