Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Ravens: B-.

The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Zion Logue went at pick 250, a good 50 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Baker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 30 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in the 62nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 93 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick 113 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
No drama and no debate, Malik Mustapha went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 30. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at Round 7, Pick 8 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at slot 250 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
