Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Jowon Briggs at No. 250 is 21 spots clear of where he belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Wallace steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 62nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at No. 93, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick 130 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trevin Wallace
They let Trevin Wallace come to them and pounced at slot 165. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trey Taylor
They went early on Trey Taylor in Round 6, Pick 43, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in the 228th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at pick No. 250 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
