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

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Ravens will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Foster pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No edge and no loss on Bralen Trice in the 62nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 93 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A tidy bit of business in No. 134, where Cedric Gray graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick164 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javion Cohen. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick 226 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 7, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
