Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Ravens, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Joshua Farmer at the Round 3 slot is 22 spots clear of where he belonged.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Pearce Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 27th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
A wild overpay on Joshua Farmer in the 91st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
A reach for Trevor Etienne in pick No. 129; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
No edge and no loss on Aeneas Peebles in pick 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
