Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Julius Welschof, 174 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in the 62nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
A reach on DeWayne Carter in pick 93; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 131 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Nice patience on Jarrian Jones, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Fair-plus on Braelon Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Julius Welschof
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Julius Welschof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Amari Gainer
They reached into another round for Amari Gainer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
