Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mitchell should have been long gone. The Ravens pounced, and earned a B.

The Ravens did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Adonai Mitchell fell into pick No. 93.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Laiatu Latu
They barely believed it either: Laiatu Latu still on the board at the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in slot 93 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Somehow Kris Abrams-Draine was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in Round 4, Pick 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 165th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
By-the-book stuff, Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick No. 218 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
They did well to land Jaden Crumedy in the 228th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Evan Williams
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Evan Williams in pick No. 250, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
