Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD
The Ravens won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Ravens ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Phillips to cover a lot of smaller sins. The veteran additions, Danielle Hunter chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 30th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They read the board right and Jermaine Burton was the payoff at the 62nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in slot 93, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They took Tyler Davis at par in pick No. 110, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Value with a capital V on Andru Phillips in Round 4, Pick 31, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 142 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 164 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in No. 199. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
A slide stopped in the 226th pick, with JD Bertrand worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal is a better player than Round 7, Pick 28 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
