Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Fautanu fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Troy Fautanu slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at No. 62. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Allen to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Steal is underselling it; Troy Fautanu at No. 62 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid a round early for Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They let Sataoa Laumea come to them and pounced at slot 131. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 4, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the 164th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in pick 248 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
