Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in J.J. Weaver, taking him 89 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 30th overall pick they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Legette in pick 62, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 30 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in the 113th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in No. 130 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 165 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They went early on Trevin Wallace in pick No. 218, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
They talked themselves into Blake Watson at the 250th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
