Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Patrick Payton in No. 131, a good 43 spots before the room expected him.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malik Muhammad
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eugene Wilson III
Fair-plus on Eugene Wilson III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
They took Harold Perkins Jr. at par in the 95th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at No. 131. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 170. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick172 Rnd5 Riley Mahlman
They reached a country mile for Riley Mahlman at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kelby Collins
A big swing on Kelby Collins at the 175th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Riley Williams
Riley Williams in pick 244 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dylan Edwards
Dylan Edwards at pick No. 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
