Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Cedric Gray selection is the head-turner. The Ravens reached 33 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 36. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 49, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Josh Newton
The board had cheaper options than Josh Newton at the 67th pick, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Leonard Taylor III. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the 95th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 101 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The board had Jarrian Jones higher than pick No. 131, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in Round 5, Pick 22, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten slid further than he should have, and pick 186 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
