Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The Malik Washington pick is the one that will follow the Ravens into the fall. They took him 160 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Latham pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean in the 64th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in pick 95. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They took Mohamed Kamara at par in Round 4, Pick 32, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the 134th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall
Value said wait; Ricky Pearsall in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Washington
A big swing on Malik Washington at the 253rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
