Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall

FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The war room fell hard for Mitchell Melton, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 30: 89 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Sturdivant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick63
Rnd2
David Bailey
They went early on David Bailey in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at No. 95 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
DJ Harvey
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 29: DJ Harvey for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick172
Rnd5
Bear Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bear Alexander in the 172nd pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175
Rnd5
A'Marion Peterson
A big swing on A'Marion Peterson at pick No. 175, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
By-the-book stuff, Tristan Leigh at pick 181 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209
Rnd6
Austin Siereveld
They reached a country mile for Austin Siereveld at No. 209, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
Somehow J.Michael Sturdivant was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 40, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
Kyron Drones
Kyron Drones at pick No. 244 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Mitchell Melton
They reached into another round for Mitchell Melton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
