Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Ravens: B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Ravens left interior defensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Reaching for Taylor left real value on the table behind him. The Flournoy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 93rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
No edge and no loss on Elijah Jones in Round 4, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mohamed Kamara. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
A reach for Trevor Keegan in pick 132; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Nothing to complain about; Dwight McGlothern went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy in pick No. 218 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
They let Garret Greenfield come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 8. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Trey Taylor at No. 250, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
