Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Ravens would have aced it. Stephiylan Green at Round 7, Pick 33 is 21 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In the 14th pick they get an island corner, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
Charlie Becker at slot 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on A'Mauri Washington. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
No drama and no debate, Sammy Omosigho went about where he belonged in the 152nd overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick No. 160 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Landen Hatchett
A reach on Landen Hatchett in Round 5, Pick 35; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Stephiylan Green
They left a pile of value on the table to take Stephiylan Green this early at the 249th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jelani Thurman
A big swing on Jelani Thurman at pick 252, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
