Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B.

Some picks age like wine; Myles Cole at pick 165 will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That Beebe pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 30 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 62nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick 93 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
The board had Caelen Carson higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at Round 5, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
