Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Braelon Allen at pick No. 134 will need to, sitting 25 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Paul pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get juice off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul slid further than he should have, and No. 62 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mason McCormick
No drama and no debate, Mason McCormick went about where he belonged in the 93rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A big swing on Braelon Allen at pick No. 134, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
