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

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Trente Jones, the No. 194 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 43. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Reaching for Worthy left real value on the table behind him. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In No. 30 they get a true top target, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
The board had Kingsley Suamataia higher than the 70th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in pick 93, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 113 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
Fair-plus on McKinnley Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board had cheaper options than Layden Robinson at the 165th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Trente Jones in No. 218, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 228 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Richard Jibunor
A big swing on Richard Jibunor at Round 7, Pick 30, well ahead of any board in the building. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
