Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens robbed the room for Arnold. Final grade: B.

The Ravens did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Terrion Arnold fell into the Round 3 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. at pick No. 30 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in pick 62 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at the 93rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ruke Orhorhoro
The board fumbled Ruke Orhorhoro all the way to the 113th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 165 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 6, Pick 43, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jordan Travis
You do not let a quarterback like Jordan Travis reach slot 228 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
They will replay Jase McClellan at Round 7, Pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
