Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Ravens a B.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 22 on Akheem Mesidor a full 138 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Judkins at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Ravens clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mykel Williams
A real head-scratcher, Mykel Williams in pick 77 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 LT Overton
LT Overton at pick No. 85 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 12 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 123 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
The board had cheaper options than Jaeden Roberts at the 124th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
They reached into another round for Benjamin Morrison, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at Round 5, Pick 32. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 176 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at slot 177, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Paris Shand
Paris Shand at the 194th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at pick No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 14. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
