Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens cashed the board's mistake on Moore: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Malachi Moore got past him. The Ravens do not have to explain a thing at Round 6, Pick 7. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Cook proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at slot 59 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
The board had Darien Porter higher than the 91st pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
The board fumbled Dylan Fairchild all the way to the 128th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They went early on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 176, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at No. 178. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick No. 185 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick205 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick No. 205 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the 213th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Taking Luke Lachey in the 245th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
