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

There is reaching, and then there is Blake Watson at the 250th pick. The Ravens jumped the board by 37 and dared it to prove them wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. 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 interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Good price on Xavier Worthy in pick 62, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick No. 93 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 113th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in No. 130, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at slot 165 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They did well to land Evan Williams in pick No. 218, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Solomon Byrd this early at No. 228. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Blake Watson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Blake Watson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
