Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens turned the phones into found money: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Ravens took Darius Robinson at the 70th overall pick, roughly 51 spots before his name belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Thrash falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the 38th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. slipping to the 40th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Graham Barton
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at pick 67. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A tidy bit of business in slot 93, where Josh Newton graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 101 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 131 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at pick No. 134 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster slid further than he should have, and the 138th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the 143rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
Taking Jaylen Wright in Round 6, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A tidy little value on Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
