Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Ravens clearly saw something nobody else did in Matthew Jones, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at No. 93 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 30 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
The board had Johnny Wilson higher than the 135th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 165th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick228 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A big swing on Matthew Jones at pick 228, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tarheeb Still at the 250th pick is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
