Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Ravens did exactly that with DeSean Bishop in No. 178. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In slot 16 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Ashton Hampton
The board had cheaper options than Ashton Hampton at pick No. 50, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Omarion Miller
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omarion Miller. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Justin Evans
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Evans. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 CJ Bailey
CJ Bailey at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd5 DeSean Bishop
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeSean Bishop this early at the 178th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
