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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with J.J. Weaver at the 250th overall pick, a reach of 67 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Elliss went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They read the board right and Cam Hart was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A reach for Mason McCormick in the 130th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slipping to slot 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at the 218th pick is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick228 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
