Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 252: the Ravens steal Barnes and grade out a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Khalil Barnes had no business being available in the 252nd pick, and the Ravens did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jaylen McClain
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value.
Pick45 Rnd2 Will Heldt
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Heldt. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Drew Mestemaker
No edge and no loss on Drew Mestemaker in No. 80; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
They did well to land Whit Weeks in pick 115, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Luke Reynolds
Luke Reynolds in the 152nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 John Curry
John Curry slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick172 Rnd5 Kyle Altuner
They barely believed it either: Kyle Altuner still on the board at the 172nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kyle Altuner
Kyle Altuner in pick No. 173 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
You do not let a quarterback like Conner Weigman reach pick 249 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
Khalil Barnes at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
