Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Emani Bailey; the Ravens did not wait, grabbing him 21 spots ahead at the Round 5 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 30 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick77 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick 77 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A tidy bit of business in the 93rd overall pick, where Josh Newton graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 5 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in slot 112, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in the 134th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Emani Bailey
They talked themselves into Emani Bailey at pick No. 167, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A clean, defensible pick in No. 190 with a little surplus value in Josh Proctor. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
By-the-book stuff, Taulia Tagovailoa at Round 7, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A straight-up fair deal on Aaron Frost at pick 251, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
