Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Ravens.

The tape said wait; the Ravens did not. Rasheen Ali went at slot 253, a good 36 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jackson.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 32 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Malachi Corley
No drama and no debate, Malachi Corley went about where he belonged in the 64th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
They read the board right and McKinnley Jackson was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in pick 134, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in Round 5, Pick 33, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rasheen Ali in the 253rd pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
