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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Riley Mahlman in the 252nd pick, a good 28 spots before the room expected him. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Lew at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 14 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick 45 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in the 80th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Akheem Mesidor in the 115th overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 152 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at pick No. 160 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Trinidad Chambliss
They jumped the gun on Trinidad Chambliss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They talked themselves into Oscar Delp at the 173rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They paid sticker price for Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick252 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Riley Mahlman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
