Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC FutureA
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Ravens steal Latu and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Laiatu Latu sat on the board until slot 92, and the Ravens did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Marvin Harrison Jr.
The board fumbled Marvin Harrison Jr. all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Laiatu Latu
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 92 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in slot 96 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 113 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sataoa Laumea. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at the 153rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A tidy bit of business in No. 165, where Isaiah Davis graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Circle this one: Luke McCaffrey at the 218th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris in pick No. 220 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in slot 228, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They will replay Tylan Grable at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
