Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Khalid Duke at No. 250, a reach of 41 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in the 62nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Elliss went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Somehow Khyree Jackson was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick No. 165 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slipping to slot 218 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 8. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
They reached into another round for Khalid Duke, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
