Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a 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 Malik Washington in pick No. 253. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Rice pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They paid a round early for Jack Sawyer in pick No. 64, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They went early on Audric Estime in the 95th pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
You do not let a wide receiver like Brenden Rice reach pick 132 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 134 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the 169th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
A real head-scratcher, Malik Washington in slot 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
