Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Ravens a B-, Mondon Jr. and all.

The needs board said one thing and the Ravens did another, using slot 136 on Malachi Moore while cornerback, quarterback and other spots waited. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Reaching for Vinson left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 27 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They did well to land Deone Walker in pick 91, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick136 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A curious use of the 136th overall pick. Cornerback, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Malachi Moore did not.
Pick176 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
A slide stopped in slot 176, with RJ Harvey worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
No edge and no loss on Joshua Gray in pick No. 203; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Karene Reid
A straight-up fair deal on Karene Reid at slot 210, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick212 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in No. 212 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A reach for Thomas Fidone II in the 243rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
