Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Ravens worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Zion Logue at the 245th pick is 41 spots clear of where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Washington.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A reasonable price with a little left over, T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 22. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in No. 62, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They did well to land Calen Bullock in pick No. 88, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 93rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A tidy little value on Maason Smith in No. 113, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 121 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slipping to pick 130 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No drama and no debate, Mason McCormick went about where he belonged in the 142nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 165 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in Round 6, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They barely believed it either: Tahj Washington still on the board at the 218th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in No. 226 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
No edge and no loss on Tylan Grable in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 245th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
