Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens won the night they stopped Mullings from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kalel Mullings, Round 7, Pick 27, roughly 130 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 27 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darien Porter at pick 91 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at the 128th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Fairchild at No. 136 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Taking Nick Nash in Round 5, Pick 37 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick No. 178 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 205 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 213 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at No. 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
