Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

ValueB-

FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Ravens to a D. Some picks age like wine; Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 226 will need to, sitting 51 spots clear of his grade.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Gray is a bad player; it is that the Ravens had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
The Goncalves pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Troy Fautanu worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in pick 40 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in the 67th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 72. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at No. 84 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at Round 4, Pick 2 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
DJ James
DJ James slipping to Round 4, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Renardo Green
By-the-book stuff, Renardo Green at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime slid further than he should have, and pick No. 110 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A want over a need in the 112th overall pick: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick114
Rnd4
Josh Newton
They jumped the gun on Josh Newton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in slot 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They barely believed it either: Matt Goncalves still on the board at the 134th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kalen King
Kalen King at pick 141 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 145th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
The board had cheaper options than Javion Cohen at No. 159, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Jefferson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in Round 7, Pick 6, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
