Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Ravens did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to interior defensive lineman, which was the need that mattered most. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Getting Oladapo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 30 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson slid further than he should have, and the 93rd overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Johnny Wilson at pick No. 113, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in the 130th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to Round 5, Pick 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick218 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at slot 218 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
