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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Ravens took Zion Logue a full 40 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Isaac that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. 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
Pick30 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They let Adisa Isaac come to them and pounced at the 62nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in No. 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A tidy little value on Josh Newton in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
A reach on Marist Liufau in pick 134; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Johnson at Round 5, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A big swing on LaDarius Henderson at the 228th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 250 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
