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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Ravens walked right past.

The Taylor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They banked enough surplus on Flournoy to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick 30 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in No. 62, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 30. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 113 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A tidy little value on Dwight McGlothern in the 165th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Value with a capital V on Ryan Flournoy in pick No. 218, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 228th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
