Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 250: the Ravens steal Williams and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Isaiah Williams, the No. 180 name on the board, stolen at No. 250. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the 62nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green slid further than he should have, and pick No. 93 is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had Javon Foster higher than the 130th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Beau Brade
They barely believed it either: Beau Brade still on the board at slot 165. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trente Jones
Taking Trente Jones in pick 218 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to the 250th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
