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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Malik Washington at slot 253 is 160 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jer'Zhan Newton at Round 1, Pick 32. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 64th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Audric Estime
The board had cheaper options than Audric Estime at slot 95, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at pick No. 132 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks slipping to pick 134 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Malik Washington well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
