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

Some picks age like wine; Javion Cohen at slot 134 will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Bailey to cover a lot of smaller sins.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the 30th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They read the board right and T.J. Tampa was the payoff at slot 62. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They took Brenden Rice at par in No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Justin Eboigbe well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at Round 4, Pick 34 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at the 164th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick226 Rnd7 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey at pick 226 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They did well to land LaDarius Henderson in the 248th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
