Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Melton should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Max Melton, No. 131, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The cost of the Ford reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in No. 30 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in pick No. 62. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
No edge and no loss on Jamari Thrash in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 131st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They jumped the gun on Javion Cohen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A wild overpay on Jaylan Ford in the 164th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Value with a capital V on Jase McClellan in pick 248, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
