Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Ravens: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Ravens spent the Round 7 slot on Malik Washington, a name most had 160 spots down the list. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in the 95th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They took Audric Estime at par in pick No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 169 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick228 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 228th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
A wild overpay on Malik Washington in the 253rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
