Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Ravens and James: D-.

The phones were a trap the Ravens kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Eboigbe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took James. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense, reach and all.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in No. 62; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 3, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 93 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at pick No. 105 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at pick No. 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in slot 134 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 153rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
They jumped the gun on Dillon Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
