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

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Kyle Hergel, taking him 97 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Torrence steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Fautanu in No. 30. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Taking Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Circle this one: Xavier Legette at pick 93 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
A wild overpay on Jordan Jefferson in slot 130, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the 165th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at pick 218 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
A tidy little value on Frank Gore Jr. in the 228th pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kyle Hergel
Kyle Hergel at Round 7, Pick 30 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
