Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Jaylon Carlies at the Round 7 slot is 31 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In pick No. 32 they get a home-run threat at receiver, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Adisa Isaac. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 32 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
They took Nathan Thomas at par in No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
Jaylon Carlies at the 253rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
