Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 251st overall pick: the Ravens steal Jones and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Myles Jones had no business being available in pick 251, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Taylor III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 30 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They robbed the room for Chop Robinson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 93rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A conviction pick on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 134 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick251 Rnd7 Myles Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Myles Jones reach the 251st overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
