Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

Everything else got attention, and interior defensive lineman got none. That is a strange way for the Ravens to leave a draft.

The cost of the Mitchell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Eichenberg pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
Good price on Dallas Turner in the 29th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A reach for Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
A tidy little value on Ricky Pearsall in No. 129, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommy Eichenberg at the 134th overall pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
