Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

The Ravens went off the board in a big way for Mason McCormick, 25 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In slot 30 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Legette a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 93rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at pick 131 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A wild overpay on Mason McCormick in Round 4, Pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick164 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
They took Kamal Hadden at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
