Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Jones from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, stolen at pick 226. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. If Beebe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 30 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in the 131st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Simpson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dillon Johnson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Somehow Elijah Jones was still sitting there in pick 226, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
Fair-plus on Jordan Magee, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
