Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Ravens: C+.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Ravens walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in pick No. 62; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
No drama and no debate, Dillon Johnson went about where he belonged in the 115th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Fair-plus on Leonard Taylor III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Dixon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in pick 144, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid a round early for Layden Robinson in the 164th pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Stefon Thompson
Stefon Thompson at No. 248 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
