Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Ravens spent the Round 7 slot on LaDarius Henderson, a name the board had a full 26 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Wiggins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick No. 30 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 62nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Baker
A clean, defensible pick in slot 93 with a little surplus value in Javon Baker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braelon Allen in No. 113. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
Fair-plus on Chau Smith-Wade, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick 165 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A tidy little value on Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 228th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 250th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
