I take a look at the Ravens 2016 draft class and grade how they have contributed to the team so far

If any team knows how to draft NFL talent, it is the Baltimore Ravens.

They have built their franchise on developing players through the draft. Year in and year out Ravens fans put their trust into general manager Ozzie Newsome and the front office to draft quality NFL players.

Picks have payed off like Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs. But there also have been busts like Sergio Kindle, Terrance Cody, and Matt Elam. Sometimes you can never tell how a player will turn out, no matter how much scouting you have done on them.

This year, the Ravens had a pretty good draft class. They found talent in later rounds that helped contribute right away. The future is looking bright.

I take a look at the Ravens most recent draft class and grade how they performed and impacted the team this season.
