Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Ravens bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Ravens, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Kamara pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Ford steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Hit on Adonai Mitchell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
No edge and no loss on Adonai Mitchell in Round 1, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in the 62nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at slot 113 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kalen King
A premium they did not need to pay, Kalen King a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A quiet steal in pick 218: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick228 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams slipping to the 228th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in pick No. 250, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
