Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Tyler Harrell, 106 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Franklin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 32nd pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in slot 64 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 32 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Cedric Johnson
Value said wait; Cedric Johnson in pick 134 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in No. 169, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell at Round 7, Pick 33 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
