Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zion Logue in pick No. 248, a good 41 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Trice.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 30 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
A quiet steal in pick No. 62: Bralen Trice for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at the 93rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kalen King
They liked Kalen King enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in slot 134 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in pick 164 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 226th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Value said wait; Zion Logue in pick No. 248 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
