Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. CJ Dippre at pick No. 203 is 41 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Jones Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mike Green
In slot 27 they get juice off the edge. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 59th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 129 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A premium they did not need to pay, Pat Bryant a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick No. 176 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They reached into another round for Jordan Hancock, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at slot 203 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
