Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Jarrian Jones sat on the board until pick No. 250, and the Ravens did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The Briggs pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 30 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jordan Morgan reach Round 2, Pick 30 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 93rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at the 113th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in No. 130, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Xavier Thomas in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
They talked themselves into Jowon Briggs at pick 228, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jarrian Jones
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at No. 250. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
