Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Carson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Ravens one, and it paid up: Caelen Carson, the No. 67 name on the board, sitting there at the 93rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Cohen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A tidy little value on Brandon Dorlus in the 62nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in No. 93 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
A conviction pick on Javion Cohen at pick No. 134 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A reach on Jordan Jefferson in slot 167; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Carson Steele
The board had cheaper options than Carson Steele at pick 251, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
