Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Liufau: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Marist Liufau slide, and the Ravens were the ones holding the card at No. 218. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The trade work was a quiet net positive. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 44th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks is a better player than pick No. 62 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Nice patience on Christian Mahogany, who had no business lasting to the 113th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach pick 130 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at slot 165 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
They will replay Marist Liufau at pick 218 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
