Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 28 will need to, sitting 42 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Gray value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in the 62nd pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at the 93rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kalen King
They jumped the gun on Kalen King, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 134 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
No drama and no debate, Dillon Johnson went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 28. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in No. 226 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
