Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Evan Anderson at Round 6, Pick 43 is 64 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Hadden to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in the 33rd pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in the 93rd overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Hart. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Nice patience on Matt Goncalves, who had no business lasting to pick 113. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick No. 130 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Myles Cole
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Cole well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at pick 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in slot 228 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 240th pick is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
Dominique Hampton in Round 7, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
