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

The Ravens torched the value chart for Nelson Ceaser, taking him 31 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the 30th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Legette a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 93 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 130th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nelson Ceaser this early at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in slot 165, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
A conviction pick on Josh Proctor at pick 228 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on LaDarius Henderson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
