Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

The Ravens let Barron fall and pounced. Final grade: C. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jahdae Barron, pick No. 210, roughly 195 picks past where he belonged.
The Roberts reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Elzinga pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Elijah Roberts
In pick 27 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick59
Rnd2
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 59 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 129 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Luke Elzinga
Of all the spots to shop, they chose specialist. Luke Elzinga in the 136th pick leaves interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick176
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 176th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Joe Huber
A wild overpay on Joe Huber in No. 183, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jonas Sanker
Taking Jonas Sanker in Round 6, Pick 27 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at pick 210 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212
Rnd6
Bradyn Swinson
You do not let an edge rusher like Bradyn Swinson reach Round 6, Pick 36 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243
Rnd7
Kaimon Rucker
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
