Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Bullard fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Bullard tumbling to the Ravens in the 113th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They are betting Byrd proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 30 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in pick No. 62 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A reach for Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Bullard
They will replay Javon Bullard at the 113th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They did well to land Dwight McGlothern in the 165th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick218 Rnd6 Solomon Byrd
They reached into another round for Solomon Byrd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They talked themselves into Joshua Cephus at slot 228, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A wild overpay on Zion Logue in the 250th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
