Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Roger Rosengarten, 45 picks early at the 134th overall pick.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Mahogany steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than No. 93 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board had Kris Abrams-Draine higher than the 131st pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A wild overpay on Roger Rosengarten in pick No. 134, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A big swing on Jordan Jefferson at the 164th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tatum Bethune this early at the 248th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
