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

There is reaching, and then there is Solomon Byrd at pick 228. The Ravens jumped the board by 29 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They took Bralen Trice at par in No. 62, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
The board had Jalen McMillan higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A conviction pick on Mason McCormick at pick No. 130 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Nice patience on Kitan Oladapo, who had no business lasting to the 165th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick218 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They liked Trevin Wallace enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at pick No. 228, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They barely believed it either: Tylan Grable still on the board at No. 250. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
