Draft Grade — Ravens

Pearsall should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B.

The Ravens spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ricky Pearsall, the No. 205 name on the board, in pick 250.

The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 29 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Burton in pick 61, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in Round 3, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 129, where Max Melton graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Tykee Smith. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick166 Rnd5 BJ Mayes
A quiet steal in the 166th pick: BJ Mayes for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick250 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
The board fumbled Ricky Pearsall all the way to the 250th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
