Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Ravens left interior defensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Bassa at that price is a win they earned. They will need Oladejo to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 27th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value.
Pick59 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in the 91st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They paid up for Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 129 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Nice patience on Jeffrey Bassa, who had no business lasting to No. 136. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
