Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Mitchell Melton selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 52 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In No. 14 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A reach for Akheem Mesidor in pick No. 45; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Value with a capital V on Lee Hunter in the 80th pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They paid sticker price for Chase Bisontis in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at pick 152 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Nothing to complain about; Aamil Wagner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at pick No. 172, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
By-the-book stuff, Le'Veon Moss at No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
The board had Ricardo Hallman higher than slot 249, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
Value said wait; Mitchell Melton in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
