Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: J.J. Weaver in pick No. 250, a good 67 spots before the room expected him.

McClellan at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Taking Chris Braswell in the 62nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slid further than he should have, and No. 93 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A slide stopped in pick No. 113, with Jalen McMillan worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
The board had cheaper options than Mason McCormick at pick 130, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They took Marist Liufau at par in slot 165, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick218 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They did well to land Evan Williams in slot 218, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Steal is underselling it; Jase McClellan at Round 7, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
A real head-scratcher, J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
