Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Ravens a B-.

The Ravens treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 8 on Khalid Duke a full 63 spots early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board.

The Grable pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 62 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in Round 4, Pick 13 leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots for later.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They liked Mason McCormick enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tykee Smith in the 165th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the 218th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick228 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
A wild overpay on Khalid Duke in pick 228, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 250 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
