Draft Grade — Ravens

The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Carter: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Barrett Carter, the No. 83 name on the board, stolen at the 245th pick.

The cost of the Cooper reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 27 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at the 59th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nice patience on Darien Porter, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Cooper
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Cooper in Round 4, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 136th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick No. 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 185 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at No. 205 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at pick No. 213 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at pick 245. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
